We con­sider our­sel­ves one of the lea­ding busi­ness law firms in Ham­burg and as la­wy­ers we stri­ve to be among­st the best in our are­as of spe­cia­lism. Working wi­th our cli­ents, the trust they place in us re­flects and streng­thens this com­mit­ment.

Ba­sed on our ma­ny de­ca­des of ex­pe­ri­ence and our ex­cel­lent net­works wi­thin the ship­ping in­dus­try and among col­le­agues th­roug­hout the world, we are fre­quent­ly in­s­truc­ted to act in com­plex, cross-bor­der mat­ters.

Our Qua­li­ties

Team spi­rit, the high qua­li­ty of our work, know-how, an open mind, vi­si­on and a fee­ling for the best pos­si­ble so­lu­ti­ons are so­me of the de­cisi­ve qua­li­ties that are sys­te­ma­ti­cal­ly cul­ti­va­ted at our law firm.

We main­tain per­so­nal re­la­ti­ons wi­th first-class law firms at all ma­jor busi­ness lo­ca­ti­ons th­roug­hout the world. We thus en­su­re the pro­vi­si­on of over­ar­ching stra­te­gic ad­vice to our cli­ents and the best pos­si­ble re­pre­sen­ta­ti­on in li­ti­ga­ti­on, al­so in for­eign count­ries and for in­ter­na­tio­nal tran­sac­tions.

LE­BUHN & PUCH­TA has em­bo­di­ed the­se qua­li­ties ever sin­ce it was es­tab­lished. This is why we are fre­quent­ly in­s­truc­ted to act in lar­ge-sca­le, com­plex mat­ters of an in­ter­na­tio­nal na­tu­re.
