01 — PRACTICE

What this firm does

German specialist law firm focused on software licence law, defending audits and disputes under German and EU law, including litigation. It provides legal representation rather than buyer-side license consultancy — this is legal practice, and engaging a lawyer is a legal decision, not directory advice. Engagements are scoped to your audit stage and exposure, working buyer-side to re-measure the estate and contest or negotiate the publisher's claim.

Pros and cons

A balanced read so you can weigh this firm yourself. We do not rank or recommend firms. Independence is shown as a pro; reseller, Big-Four or vendor-side-audit ties as a con — both factual trade-offs.

Pros
  • Independent law firm with no vendor partnership, reseller relationship or commission
  • Litigation-grade legal capability under German and EU law, useful where an audit escalates to a formal dispute
  • Deep grounding in German software-licence law and local court and contract practice
Cons
  • A law firm rather than a technical SAM/licensing consultancy, so estate re-measurement is typically handled with a separate specialist
  • Coverage centred on Germany and EU law rather than global jurisdictions
  • Legal representation is a distinct and separate engagement from buyer-side license advisory
