Practice Areas

Our expertise is focussed on the following legal areas:

Estate Planning, Wills and Probates

Stefan Mannheim is a German Certified Inheritance Lawyer (`Fachanwalt für Erbrecht´). His focus on estate planning, includes a long track record in drafting Wills and successfully settling probates with assets in different foreign countries. Stefan has considerable experience and knowledge of the different legal systems in the Republic of Ireland and Germany and can, therefore, ensure your wishes are represented in a Last Will and Testament to work in both jurisdictions.

We also represent clients with lawsuits in the areas of inheritance law and German inheritance/gift tax (Capital Acquisitions Tax). If you need a solicitor or barrister for litigation in the Republic of Ireland, we can help you through our international network of legal experts.

More information about cross-border estate law in Germany is available on our associated websites: German-Inheritance-Estate-Probate.Lawyer and Anwaltskanzlei Stefan Mannheim.

Employment Law

We are experienced in employment law, including the drafting of employment contracts between Irish employers in the Republic of Ireland and employees based in Germany. If you need advice about domestic German or cross-border employment matters, then we can provide the necessary legal expertise to assist you.

We advise and represent employers as well as employees, which broadens our horizon and helps to identify possible solutions in our clients' individual cases that are beneficial for both sides.

Our legal services in the area of employment law includes counselling, drafting employment contracts and litigation at the labour tribunals in Germany.

Civil Law

The legal systems in Ireland and in Germany are quite different. We help our clientele to successfully navigate through the "paragraph jungle" and to enforce claims in the other country. For those practice areas we are not expert in, we can recommend other lawyers from our networks.

Notarisation

Notarisation is required for many legal transactions. A German "Notar" is not necessarily what you will need to get a notarisation for the use in Ireland. In most cases, we can notarise your signature and certify copies of documents for the use in Ireland or other Anglo-Saxon jurisdictions.

We are looking forward to assisting you with our experience in both, domestic as well as cross-border legal counselling, litigation and arbitration. For any queries, please do not hesitate to contact us:
