NEWS

WE MOVE INTO OUR NEW OFFICE!

As a modern law firm, we started introducing the paperless file some time ago and converted still existing paper files into electronic form. As a result, we now not only work in an environmentally conscious manner, but also require less office space – compared to the past – which is further enhanced by hybrid working on-site in the office and at home.

With these conditions in mind, we started looking for suitable office space a few months ago and finally decided on a light-flooded antique building from 1912 in the beautiful district of Munich/Obermenzing. The move finally took place at the end of July 2023. Fixed workplaces but rooms occupied by several people are not only in line with our ideas in terms of efficient and at the same time environmentally conscious work, but also enable a fast exchange among colleagues and promote team spirit.

On time for the start of our office on August 1, 2023, we were thus able to begin our activities on site in the new office under optimal conditions and consider ourselves fortunate to have found such premises that meet our expectations.

Because your ideas are worth being protected!
