Regulatory-Offence Law

For traffic-related regulatory offences, we analyse the measurement methods in detail, examining calibration records and operator errors as well as the proper conduct of the measurement procedure. Technical defects or procedural errors can often be established, which lead to discontinuation of the proceedings or a significant reduction of the fine. Particularly where a driving ban is threatened, we employ every legal means to prevent or shorten it.

Tax-related regulatory offences require close coordination between the regulatory-offence proceedings and the tax proceedings. We develop coordinated defence strategies that keep both procedures in view and represent you both before the fine authority and before the tax administration. We make sure that statements made in one procedure do not lead to disadvantages in the other.

In corporate regulatory-offence cases (such as environmental, trade or data-protection breaches), often not only the fine but also the reputation of the company is at stake. We develop PR-sensitive defence strategies and provide preventive advice on compliance measures in order to avoid future breaches. We are also available with our expertise in antitrust-fine proceedings.

Our lawyer Kumru Dursun has extensive experience in regulatory-offence law and is familiar with the specific procedural rules of the various administrative authorities. For each case, she develops the optimal defence strategy, combining legal precision with pragmatic negotiating skill.
