One part of medical law is MEDICAL CRIMINAL LAW. This area of law represents the symbiosis of our core competencies “medical law” and “criminal law”. In this area, we also exclusively advise health care providers in connection with accusations of, for example, negligent bodily injury and negligent homicide due to alleged treatment errors, bribery and corruption in the health care sector, and billing fraud. Furthermore, this also includes criminal violations of pharmaceutical, medical device and pharmacy law. In this context, we not only act as defense counsel in the context of already pending investigative or criminal proceedings, but also advise our clients preventively, in particular with regard to the establishment of customized healthcare compliance systems.

TAX LAW & CRIMINAL TAX LAW
In the field of TAX LAW we focus on the taxation of medical service providers and non-profit associations. We prepare expert opinions on issues in these areas and appear before the fiscal courts. We do not offer traditional tax advice such as the preparation of tax returns, but work hand in hand with highly qualified tax firms.
Our expertise in TAX CRIMINAL LAW covers all provisions and facts of Part Eight of the German Fiscal Code. This includes not only classic tax evasion (including evasion of import and export duties), but also, in particular, the breach of the ban, commercial, forcible and gang smuggling and tax evasion. Both partners are Certified Defense Attorneys for Tax Criminal Law (DSV e.V.).
