Barba & Partner Rechtsanwälte, with law offices in Munich and Milan, assists clients in two areas where early legal guidance is critical: criminal proceedings in Germany and real estate matters in Italy, in German, Italian, and English.
In criminal law, we defend accused individuals in investigations and criminal proceedings, particularly in commercial criminal law, tax criminal matters, and cross-border cases. If you have received a summons or a Strafbefehl, a written penalty order issued by a German court, if your home or business has been searched under a search warrant, or if an arrest warrant may be involved, you should not make any statements about the allegations before your situation has been reviewed by a lawyer.
In Italian real estate law, we support English-speaking buyers, owners, and heirs in reviewing documents, contracts, powers of attorney, and procedures relating to real estate in Italy, for example before a purchase, before the notarial appointment, or in cross-border inheritance matters.
In the initial assessment, we review your situation and assess the next steps. We also clarify which documents may be relevant for a more detailed review. In urgent cases — such as an ongoing search, detention, or a deadline this week — you should call us directly.
