FAQ

Quick answers — before you write

Legal fees in Germany are governed by the RVG statute and depend mainly on the value in dispute. For ongoing business support, fee agreements are possible. You always receive a transparent cost overview before instructing us.

In German civil proceedings the losing party generally bears the court fees and the statutory lawyer fees of both sides. Exception: before the labour courts, each party pays its own lawyer in the first instance.

A payment order (Mahnbescheid) takes a few weeks if the debtor does not object. Contested first-instance proceedings usually take several months — many cases settle earlier.

Yes — cross-border enforcement is one of our core strengths: debt collection in Poland, enforcement of German judgments under the Brussels Ia Regulation and contract reviews under Polish law.

Often yes, depending on your policy and the type of dispute. Send us your policy details and we will obtain cover confirmation for you.

An unfair dismissal claim (Kündigungsschutzklage) must be filed within 3 weeks of receiving the notice. After that, the dismissal generally becomes effective — contact us immediately.
