Criminal Tax Law

Criminal Tax Law

Taxes and tax-related matters arise in all areas of economic activity—whether in smaller businesses or large corporations. Tax laws are constantly being reformed, with each amendment more complex than the last.

For this reason, many individuals entrust their tax affairs to personal tax advisors. However, when a criminal tax proceeding arises, this is no longer advisable—not only because the tax advisor is often directly involved, but also because a criminal tax proceeding is a true criminal case requiring a thorough understanding of criminal procedure law.

Our tax specialists bring many years of experience and excellent interdisciplinary knowledge across all areas of taxation. Whether it concerns administrative fine proceedings, tax assessment, or criminal tax proceedings, we handle your matters discreetly and with minimal intervention—ensuring as few measures as necessary.

Defense in Tax Criminal Proceedings

Defense in Tax Criminal Proceedings

Once tax office auditors identify errors in your tax return, suspicions of tax evasion can quickly arise. This situation can become highly precarious: providing incomplete or inaccurate information to tax authorities to reduce tax liabilities constitutes a criminal offense, as tax evasion is classified as a criminal act.

If taxpayers are suspected of tax evasion, they may face financial penalties or imprisonment. Depending on the severity of the fraud, sentences can extend up to 10 years in prison. If you find yourself in such a predicament, it is crucial to seek immediate professional assistance from specialized tax criminal law attorneys.

Administrative Law

Administrative Law

Where and how should paints and coatings be properly disposed of? Is a government authority placing obstacles in the way of your building permit? Is construction planned on a neighboring property, and you believe you have no say?

If an authority has made a decision to your detriment, you don’t have to simply accept it. Challenge the decision and file an objection. Authorities are specialized legal departments, so it’s essential to communicate with them on equal footing. The best way to do this is with the support of an experienced lawyer.

We are your trusted advisors. Consult our administrative law experts at an early stage. Everything regulated by the state is linked to administrative law, covering areas such as environmental law (noise protection, water protection, soil protection, and waste law), public construction law, and economic law.

Our specialists are here to assist you: we assess your legal questions, monitor deadlines, handle communication with authorities, and represent you professionally in court proceedings.

Public Building Law

Public Building Law

Not every building application proceeds smoothly. This can be attributed to the few, yet intricate legal requirements involved. In building authorities, caseworkers are often certified architects, which means the primary focus tends to be on technical matters. As a result, your legal options may be overlooked.

We are here to assist you: Our attorneys specialize in issues related to building permits, neighbor law, and property law. We create comprehensive legal feasibility studies, communicate with the relevant authorities on your behalf, and advocate for your interests—both out of court and in court. Trust our expertise to navigate the complexities of public building law and ensure your projects proceed with legal precision and support.

Preparation of Expert Reports

Preparation of Expert Reports

To enable you, as a client, to make informed and sound decisions regarding your projects, an expert report is invaluable. It summarizes the current condition, for example, of a building or property, and provides an assessment.

We create customized, high-quality, and persuasive expert reports based on prevailing legal practices. This ensures that you are thoroughly informed and protected in all legal matters. Such feasibility studies not only benefit you but can also help prevent or resolve disputes.

The type and scope of the report depend on your individual situation. Consult with our administrative law attorneys to ensure you are making the best possible decisions with our expert assistance.

Legal Support for Building Permit Procedures

Legal Support for Building Permit Procedures

Whether you obtain a building permit primarily depends on issues related to building planning and building regulations law. In many cases, participating architects can independently address straightforward legal questions such as: What is the cost of a building permit? What prerequisites must be met? How long is such a permit valid, and when does it expire?

However, the devil is often in the details. When disputes arise in building planning law, it is beneficial for you to engage an attorney with expertise in administrative law. Otherwise, there is a risk that not all of your legal claims will be considered. Additionally, communication between the building authority and the applicant often suffers, as architects may find it challenging to distance themselves from their own project designs. This can potentially disadvantage you.

Our specialists assist you and bring your (construction) project closer to reality: we represent your interests and facilitate communication among all parties involved, ensuring a smooth and legally sound building permit process.

Legal Advisory in Building Regulatory Law

Legal Advisory in Building Regulatory Law

Has the building authority imposed a prohibition of use, or issued a demolition or removal order against you? In such instances, a swift and comprehensive understanding of your rights is crucial. Frequently, there is ambiguity concerning the precise status of your permit. Only attorneys can provide competent assistance in these matters: they grant you access to the necessary documentation, develop defensive strategies on your behalf, and expedite the entire process, thereby saving you valuable time.

Our experts in administrative law are at your disposal to support you effectively. Additionally, we ensure that you obtain your building permit, oversee the construction or demolition of structures, and draft or contest usage prohibitions as needed. Trust our professional team to navigate the complexities of building regulatory law, safeguarding your interests and facilitating the successful resolution of your building-related legal challenges.

Public Economic Law

Public Economic Law

Every sector of the economy is overseen by its respective supervisory authority. Entrepreneurs often find themselves uncomfortably acquainted with these authorities when a violation is detected. In such proceedings, you can rely on our comprehensive expertise in criminal and fine proceedings to protect your business from potential harm.

Our expert team is thoroughly familiar with the processes and decision-making pathways of public administration. Whether dealing with approval procedures, governmental directives or objections, or accessing administrative information, our administrative law attorneys are pleased to advise and represent your company and its interests.
