Law Firms in Germany

Compare 462 law firms in Germany by city and practice area, with ratings, languages and recognitions.

Finding a law firm in Germany

German lawyers (Rechtsanwälte) are admitted by a regional bar and can generally act before all civil courts. Many hold a Fachanwalt title, a certified specialisation in areas such as employment, family, tax or IT law, which is a useful quality signal when comparing firms.

Statutory fees under the RVG apply to many court matters, but advisory work is often billed hourly or under a written fee agreement, so ask for an estimate up front. Frankfurt, Munich, Düsseldorf and Hamburg host most international business firms; Berlin is strong in start-up, media and public law. Choose a city below.
