Rotwang Law

Rotwang Law is a Berlin-based boutique law firm providing English-language legal services to expats and international clients in Germany. The firm’s focus on English-language delivery makes it distinctively accessible for the large international community in Berlin and across Germany who need legal advice but cannot engage with German-only law firms effectively.

Practice areas include employment law, tenancy and property law, contract law, and immigration-related legal matters — a portfolio that maps closely to the most common legal needs of expats settling in Berlin. From reviewing employment contracts before signing to challenging wrongful dismissals, from lease reviews to deposit recovery, Rotwang Law provides the expertise expats need in accessible English.

The firm’s boutique size means clients receive personalised attention from experienced lawyers, rather than being passed between junior staff as can happen in larger practices. Rotwang Law communicates clearly about costs upfront and provides structured consultations for clients who need a one-time legal opinion.

For Berlin-based expats in particular, having access to a qualified, English-speaking German lawyer who deeply understands the specific legal landscape of the city — from Berlin’s tenant protection rules to local employment market norms — is a significant advantage.
