Hiring a lawyer in Frankfurt am Main

Frankfurt am Main is Germany's financial capital, and its legal market is built around banking, capital markets, funds and corporate deals. The European Central Bank, the Deutsche Bundesbank, the financial regulator BaFin and the Frankfurt Stock Exchange are all here, so lawyers in Frankfurt spend much of their time on regulatory and transactional work. Disputes go to the Amtsgerichte, the Landgericht Frankfurt and the Oberlandesgericht Frankfurt, which hears many commercial and capital markets appeals.

Every Rechtsanwalt practising in the city is a member of the Rechtsanwaltskammer Frankfurt am Main. Admission can be checked in the Federal Lawyers Directory kept by the Bundesrechtsanwaltskammer. The Fachanwalt title confirms certified expertise in an area such as banking and capital markets law, tax law or employment law.

Residents most often need help with dismissals, rental disputes, divorce, inheritance and traffic matters. The airport and the many international employers bring a large expat population, and newcomers often look for lawyers in Frankfurt who can handle residence permits, the EU Blue Card, employment contracts and severance talks. Companies hire Frankfurt law firms for financing, mergers, fund structuring, compliance, tax and litigation.

Fees follow the RVG, the statutory scale that links fees to the value of the matter. Firms can agree hourly rates or flat fees in writing, which is standard for business clients and common in finance work. Contingency fees are permitted only in narrow cases. English is the working language in most commercial firms, and many also advise in French, Spanish, Italian, Turkish or Chinese. Ask what the first meeting will cost.
