Companies do not need lawyers. They need solutions to problems that are in line with their interests and that reconcile what is economically reasonable and legally feasible in the best possible way. That is what I am hired for and that is what I am committed to. With heart and mind.
Thanks to many years of international experience as a corporate lawyer and attorney-at-law, Dr. Alexander Steinbrecher knows how to advise and represent clients even in disputes that seem hopeless, especially at the interface between corporate law/M&A and procedural law. As a trained mediator and one of the most renowned lawyers for the out-of-court settlement of commercial disputes, he focuses on an expeditious, economically sensible and interest-oriented dispute resolution for his clients. His passion for the use of technology in legal advice is a testament to his creativity and innovative spirit to help businesses obtain justice efficiently and effectively.
