Rosinus Partner > Firm Profile
In the City of Frankfurt am Main, located near the Holbeinsteg, we are a nationally and internationally active firm specialising in providing clients with advice and defence in relation to white-collar crime and tax offences, compliance, regulatory penalty and sanction procedure and management liability. Our expertise extends to all significant sectors in this field of activity.
Before founding Rosinus I Partner we worked for many years in leading national and international corporate law firms. We therefore have a wide understanding of commercial interaction and the support and control of official proceedings and compliance projects.
Our private and commercial clients have faith in us because, thanks to our expertise and experience, we are able to provide successful support in avoiding and/or minimising personal and commercial losses in connection with official proceedings and achieving discreet solutions with our strategic vision. We act conscientiously, with implementation and bargaining strength, and on occasion apply our creativity to achieve unusual solutions.
We work in teams, often cross-border and international. We have a wide-ranging network of both national and international partners available to us with whom we can supervise and conduct even large-volume proceedings and projects from a single source.
Our clients can be sure that we act professionally at the highest level and have our fingers on the pulse. This is reflected in our market perception in the media and academic publications.
All this makes us sought after sparring partners for (inter)national corporate law firms as well as accountants and tax consultants, with whom we collaborate in our working languages of German and English.
We value people who, like ourselves, have a diversity of interests and can look beyond their own horizons. Our work forms a significant part of our lives and we pursue it in a spirit of enjoyment and great passion. If necessary, therefore, we make ourselves available to our clients and can be contacted around the clock on any day of the week.
However, we also draw our creativity strength from taking time to be there for our families and pursuing other interests. This attitude is appreciated by clients as well as by our present and future colleagues to whom we give the opportunity of a career in our dynamic environment.
