Ruhlmann Law
Litigation · Berlin
From civil litigation to criminal defense -
I am in your corner
That means your case is actively led, not merely accompanied.
My law office specializes in dispute resolution and litigation – out of court when possible, before the judges when necessary.
This includes civil proceedings, corporate and commercial litigation, tax disputes, and criminal defense.

Legal advice maps the route. Litigation drives it. I offer both - under one roof.

My approach
Your case. My commitment.
Every case is different - my commitment is not. With 17 years of hands-on experience across civil, tax and crimial proceedings, I guide each case from the first consultation to the final decision.
Enforcing your rights takes clarity and resolve. I provide both. Together we define your goal, assess your position and choose the right path forward - negotiation, objection or litigation. Every step is deliberate. Every decision is yours.
Tax Law & Conflict Resolution
A tax audit is not the end of the road - it is often just the beginning. I stand with you at every stage: through the audit, the objection proceedings and, where necessary, full litigation before the tax court. The goal is always the same: your rights, enforced.
A criminal investigation begins long before the courtroom - and so does my work. I start with a full review of the case file, then build a precise defense strategy, preparing interviews, shaping the trial narrative and managing communication wit investigators. In tax evasion cases, I handle both the criminal and tax procedure simultanoeusly - nothing falls through the cracks.
