Company

schochauer is a genuine partnership – to the benefit of our clients. Our strong network of external partners further facilitates our clients’ needs.

Cooperatively and competent

Philosophy

Identity through partnership

A genuine partnership can only be successful if all participating lawyers work with the same integrity, expertise and efficiency, though they are individual personalities and temperaments. Given these conditions, a law office can progress to becoming a law firm in the best sense of the term, creating a very distinct corporate identity. schochauer is a successful example of this kind of partnership since 1970.

We perform our services in close cooperation with each other, making use of mutual assistance and expertise within our team – all to the benefit of our domestic as well as international clients.

We render high standard services tailored to our clients’ needs. Trustworthiness, personal commitment and professional skills are our main focus. An entrepreneurial way of thinking, creativity and an extraordinary readiness to literally “go the extra mile” for our clients complement our attitude.

Fee Policies

For transparency and fairness

Transparency and fairness are at the forefront of our fee structure. We agree on the fee with our clients in advance and provide regular updates on the work we have done.
By establishing transparent and clear rules, we create a reliable basis for cooperation right from the start.

Network

Rooted locally, linked worldwide

The world turns increasingly complex and intertwined. Partnerships and networks become more and more important. Our law firm closely cooperates with various partners in order to render our clients the best possible services.
