The data processed by cookies is required for the purposes mentioned to protect our legitimate interests and the interests of third parties in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. Most browsers accept cookies automatically.
However, our website does not use persistent cookies that remain on your device after your visit to our website has ended.

We process personal data that we receive from you in your capacity as a client or as a representative/authorized representative of the client.
We also process personal data of third parties that we have legitimately obtained from publicly accessible sources (e.g. commercial register, DPMA register, press, media, internet) and are permitted to process.
This data is processed in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) and b) GDPR to protect the legitimate interests of our law firm and/or our clients.
Furthermore, the processing of personal data of the client and/or his representative/authorized representative for certain purposes may be based on consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. Consent given can be withdrawn at any time. This also applies to the revocation of declarations of consent that were given to us before the GDPR came into force, i.e. before May 25, 2018. Such a revocation is only effective for the future and processing up to that point is not affected.
The personal data collected by us for the mandate will be stored until the expiry of the statutory retention period for lawyers (6 years after the end of the calendar year in which the mandate was terminated) and then deleted, unless we are obliged to store the data for a longer period in accordance with Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. c GDPR due to tax and commercial law retention and documentation obligations (e.g. from HGB, StGB or AO) or you have consented to further storage in accordance with Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. a GDPR.
Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those listed below. We only pass on your personal data to third parties if:
The disclosed data may only be used by the third party for the stated purposes. The attorney-client privilege remains unaffected. Insofar as data subject to attorney-client privilege is concerned, it will only be passed on to third parties in consultation with you.

In accordance with Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR, you can revoke your consent to us at any time. As a result, we may no longer continue the data processing in the future if it was based solely on this consent.
If your personal data is processed on the basis of legitimate interests in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data in accordance with Art. 21 GDPR, provided that there are reasons for this arising from your particular situation.
