What does a civil lawyer do?

Civil law, as a practice area, covers private disputes and claims between individuals and businesses that are not criminal: debts, contracts, property, damages and family-adjacent claims. In civil-law countries the term also names the whole codified legal system, so firms using this label may offer broad private-law advice and court representation.

How do I choose a civil lawyer in Cologne?

  1. Confirm which courts the lawyer appears in and whether they handle claims of your size and type.
  2. Ask for an early estimate of costs, time to judgment and the risk of paying the other side’s costs where that rule applies.
  3. Bring every contract, invoice, letter and message relevant to the dispute, in date order.
  4. Confirm the lawyer is admitted and in good standing with the bar or law society in Germany, and ask who will handle your matter.
