«FINANCIAL CRIMINAL LAW IS MY PASSION»
For me, criminal tax law is not only familiar territory in which I feel confident and at ease, but also my professional passion. I greatly enjoy and am challenged by creating solutions in complex and cross-border tax and economic matters. Contact with clients in difficult crisis situations, which must be mastered and overcome on many levels simultaneously, is a welcome challenge in my professional life, which I dare to tackle with great enthusiasm and creativity.
When institutions or individuals come into conflict with financial criminal law, there can be various reasons for this. What makes my advice unique is that I work with my clients to conduct a detailed analysis of the facts in order to establish a truthful and objective basis for subsequent legal assessment. The facts of the case are the necessary basis for any criminal tax proceedings. Only when the facts of the case have been accurately and precisely established can the mandate be legally assessed and successfully pursued.
I maintain an appreciative and respectful relationship with authorities and courts and always strive to achieve a positive outcome for my clients. I am proud to say that we have handled a large number of prestigious and international cases, all of which we have been able to bring to a positive conclusion.
