Anwaltskanzlei Ferner Alsdorf is a German law firm based in Alsdorf, near Aachen, specialising in criminal defence, IT law, and labour law. The firm has been operating for over 25 years and serves both German and international clients, with a particular reputation for its work in cybercrime, white-collar criminal defence, and European IT law.
For expats and foreigners living in Germany who find themselves facing legal proceedings, Ferner Alsdorf provides a valuable English-language legal service. The firm offers consultations in English and can arrange professional interpreters for meetings and court hearings, as well as translations of key legal documents — making the German legal system considerably more navigable for non-native speakers.
Criminal defence cases handled by the firm include fraud, cybercrime, tax offences, employment disputes, and white-collar crime. The firm is known for its systematic and technically sophisticated approach, particularly in cases involving digital evidence or cross-border legal issues.
