Information according to the Ordinance on Information Obligations for Service Providers and § 5 TMG
The advice we offer is provided by lawyers and tax consultants who have been awarded the professional title in the Federal Republic of Germany. The professionals of the Cologne office are registered with the Cologne Bar Association, Riehler Str. 30, 50668 Cologne (Tel. 0221 9730100, Fax. 0221 97301050, e-mail: kontakt@rak-koeln.de) or the Chamber of Tax Consultants Cologne, Gereonstr. 34-36, 50670 Cologne (Tel. 0221 336430, Fax. 0221 3364343, e-mail: mail@stbk-koeln.de). The respective chamber is also the competent supervisory authority. The following professional regulations apply to our activities:
Professional regulations
– Federal Lawyers’ Act (BRAO)
– Professional code of conduct (BORA)
– Specialist attorney regulations (FAO)
– Law on the remuneration of lawyers (RVG)
– Rules of Professional Conduct of Lawyers in the European Community (CCBE)

The professional regulations can be found on the websites of the Federal Chamber of Lawyers (www.brak.de) and the Federal Chamber of Tax Consultants (www.bstbk.de) under the heading “Berufsrecht”.
The representation of conflicting interests is prohibited for lawyers due to professional regulations (§ 43a para. 4 BRAO). Before accepting a mandate, we therefore always check whether there is a conflict of interest.
