Three Steps to Legal Counseling
I strive to counsel and support my clients in their projects as comprehensively as possible, while my clients' wish regarding the actual volume of support will of course always take priority. The three steps of my logo stand for three incremental stages of counseling:
- The base line ("consultation") is a solid explanation of the legal situation based on applicable law. Chances and risks are being clearly portrayed. If there are several possible ways to proceed, a recommendation including supporting arguments will be supplied.
- The second stage ("implementation") refers to the implementation of the solution chosen by the client: Both IP contract design and -negotiation as well as strategic consulting in the IP area often entail measures of the client which can be secured with legal consulting, such as actions to be taken to fulfill a contract, internal changes of processes or structures, or trainings.
- The top stage ("validation") comprises both the verification of fulfillment (e.g. in the case of contracts) as well as a possible assessment whether measures taken continue to be useful or require adjustments based on legally sound suggestions.
