Witting · Contzen & Kollegen Attorneys at Law

Practice Areas

We defend. Nothing else.

No contract drafting, no transactions, no general-practice work. That limitation is our advantage — and yours.

§§ 263, 266 StGB

White-Collar Crime

Defending entrepreneurs, managing directors, board members and supervisory board members at every stage of proceedings — from initial suspicion through trial to appeal.

  • Fraud and breach of trust in a corporate context
  • Corruption offences and granting of undue advantages
  • Insolvency offences and bankruptcy
  • Capital markets and accounting offences
  • Representing witnesses and third parties affected by proceedings
§ 370 AO

Tax Criminal Law

The intersection of tax assessment proceedings and criminal process. We negotiate with the tax office, the tax investigation unit and the public prosecutor — with the goal of ending the matter before it becomes public.

  • Defense against tax evasion charges
  • Voluntary self-disclosure for exemption from prosecution — review and filing
  • Tax investigation, search and seizure of assets
  • VAT and customs criminal proceedings
  • Contested tax audits carrying criminal exposure
§ 102 StPO

Crisis & Prevention

Once a search is under way, the first hour decides everything. Before that, preparation decides everything. We stand for both — the emergency, and preventing it.

  • Immediate response during search and seizure
  • Review of pre-trial detention and detention appeals
  • Internal investigations
  • Criminal compliance and risk analysis
  • Advising companies as parties subject to asset confiscation
