Initial consultation

When we take on a mandate, we analyze the facts of the case together with you. It is often possible to plan further steps and outline possible solutions at this stage. Cost planning is also part of the initial consultation. We will provide you with comprehensive information about the costs incurred in the event of an assignment.

In all criminal matter it is vital to contact us immediately.

Costs

As a specialized law firm, we usually conclude a remuneration agreement with you. This is calculated according to the stages of the proceedings or according to time spent (hourly rate), taking into account the special features of the client relationship and the company’s or client’s budget planning. It goes without saying that we do this openly and transparently. We will inform you of the expected costs without obligation before we are commissioned.

Legal expenses cover

In many cases, the costs are covered by legal expenses insurance. Many insurers offer special criminal legal protection products that fully cover the costs of our work. Our service includes communicating with your insurance company. We will obtain a cover note for you.

D&O insurances

D&O insurance protects executives against claims from their own company (internal liability) as well as against claims from third parties (external liability). In proceedings under commercial criminal law, the costs of criminal defense are often also covered. This initially also applies to cases in which the persons concerned are accused of a deliberate breach of duty. A repayment obligation only exists in the event of a final conviction.

We advise you on cost coverage and correspond with your insurer.

Collision check

In criminal law in particular, the sustainable and sole representation of your interests is paramount. We have installed an effective system in our law firm to avoid conflicts of interest. Before accepting any assignment, we carry out a comprehensive conflict check in order to rule out potential conflicts of interest from the outset.

Secure communication

We attach great importance to secure communication. Please use our S/MIME and pgp certificates to encrypt emails. We work with our own encrypted cloud solution. For the transmission of documents, we can provide you with a secure and encrypted upload option on request.

Career with kpw

We train: we offer trainee lawyers who are interested in criminal law insights into the requirements and challenges of a criminal lawyer.

Press inquiries

The protection of the client is our first priority. Inquiries about current mandates can only be answered in exceptional cases, insofar as this makes sense in the context of the processing of the mandate and is expressly requested by the client.
