About us - Vision & Mission
Vision
We empower clients to thrive sustainably by melding legal regulations, behavioural-economic insight and technology, so that entrepreneurial resilience and responsible innovation becomes their competitive constant.
Mission
We deliver lean, lifecycle-oriented legal counsel that removes “legal waste”, embeds intuitive compliance and equips our clients to survive, adapt and continuously reinvent themselves amid shifting markets and regulation — sophisticated and sustainable legal solutions for everyone.
We foster an open and interdisciplinary corporate culture which shapes the values we convey - our environment is creative, open and curious. Our goal is to create added value for our clients with every step we take by providing custom tailored solutions to meet the needs of our clients.
To achieve this, our law firm combines elements of lean management and superleadership, drawing on an extensive network of independent strategic partners and experts.
Superleadership is characterised by the promotion of independence and one’s individual initiative. Superleadership requires that leaders know how best to motivate themselves to improve their own performance (self-leadership). Subsequently, these motivational factors are passed on to others (superleadership). Superleadership demands that self-leadership is propagated by superleaders at the (hierarchically flat) top of the organization and anchored in the corporate culture. This leads to actual full empowerment, also in the sense of shared leadership and to the realization of change leadership.
Our firm thus has a lean management system that serves a high degree of customer orientation and enables an effective and efficient creation of the value chain for our clients. All of this is necessary to provide sophisticated and sustainable legal solutions for everyone, in line with our firm's vision. This is done in close cooperation with independent experts and partners from our network - irrespective of their age, gender, ethnicity, etc. - with whom superleadership and ultimately shared leadership is further proliferated. Our law firm thus offers highest scalability in terms of sophisticated case management and case handling to provide you with your individual solution on your way to justice, while maintaining an open and innovative mindset in our firm.
Who we are and why we work differently
For Bergt Law, sustainability signifies entrepreneurial resilience: the disciplined capacity of a company to survive, adapt and continuously innovate amid volatile markets, disruptive technologies and tightening regulation (in other words a VUCA world). By combining legal and socio-economic insight and a technology backbone, we design legal architectures that shorten decision loops, eliminate non-value-adding processes and still leave founders room to experiment without stepping outside compliance. This is informed by lean-management thinking: we strip away “legal waste” — unnecessary complexity, redundant paperwork, opaque processes — so that every activity demonstrably adds client value. A sustainable enterprise is therefore not merely low-carbon but high-resilience — able to pivot, finance growth responsibly and protect stakeholders while repeatedly rewriting its own playbook. We build relationships that endure.
Lifecycle-lawyering — from cradle to crisis solution
We view mandates not as one-off assignments but as stages along a strategic journey; We are your proactive, lifecycle-aware, strategic legal partner. Our feedback loops of continuous improvement (Kaizen pursuant to lean-management logic) aim at lasting client self-efficacy, not single-exit fixes, turning the lawyer from a cost centre into a strategic partner.
