In four per­man­ent prac­tice groups and in teams put togeth­er on a case-by-case basis, we share our know­ledge in an inter­dis­cip­lin­ary man­ner — which leads to more mul­ti­fa­ceted delib­er­a­tions and bet­ter leg­al solu­tions for our clients.

Our cli­ents include busi­nesses and busi­ness own­ers, private indi­vidu­als, as well as dis­tricts, cit­ies and com­munit­ies. As a medi­um-sized law firm with over 60 years of tra­di­tion in Ravens­burg, we feel espe­cially con­nec­ted to the medi­um-sized busi­nesses in our region.

OUR HIS­TORY

Our firm was foun­ded in 1958 by Dr. Helmut Wag­n­er, who oper­ated as the sole law­yer for 13 years.

We cur­rently rep­res­ent the interests of our pre­dom­in­antly medi­um-sized cli­ents inside and out of Ger­many with a team of 11 law­yers and spe­cial­ist law­yers, among them eight partners.
