Specialist Lawyers for Criminal Law and Tax Law
Dr Tobias Rudolph, Franziska Fladerer and Christian Krauße, LL.M. Eur. practise as lawyers and defence counsel in Nuremberg. All lawyers at this northern Bavarian criminal law boutique are double-qualified as specialists in both criminal law and tax law, and are also certified advisers in tax criminal law. In 2024, the firm was recommended for the fifth consecutive time by Handelsblatt as one of the top addresses for white-collar criminal defence in Germany.
The lawyers handle cases across the full spectrum of traditional criminal law. This includes criminal investigations, indictments before the District Court or the Regional Court, as well as pre-trial detention matters and representation in appeals and revisions.
Specialists in Difficult Cases
A particular focus of our law firm is on criminal proceedings requiring specialised expertise in other legal fields, especially tax law, medical criminal law, or internet law.
Tax Criminal Law
Effective defence in tax criminal law requires staying attuned not only to the tactical aspects of criminal proceedings but also to the tax-related repercussions for the client. Practical experience in dealing with investigators from the tax authorities is just as crucial as close professional collaboration with qualified tax advisers. As “double-qualified” specialists in both criminal law and tax law, our Nuremberg defence lawyers have unique expertise in preparing and strategically designing self-disclosures that can exempt clients from punishment.
White-Collar (Commercial) Criminal Law
In the realm of white-collar criminal law, in addition to a high level of legal expertise, a combination of life experience and strategic foresight is indispensable. For example, defending charges of fraud or embezzlement demands not only knowledge of criminal law but also civil law skills to grasp the complex economic interconnections. The same applies to defending against allegations of corruption, insolvency offences, or internet-related criminal cases, as well as defending against corporate fines.
The law firm specialises in cybercrime cases, for example in the area of Forex or CFD trading.
Advising Companies: Corruption Prevention and Compliance
The lawyers at Rudolph Rechtsanwälte in Nuremberg represent both individuals and businesses, particularly in combating corruption and preventing criminal offences within companies. Several regional and international companies have appointed them as external trusted lawyers (ombudspersons) for corruption prevention as part of corporate criminal advisory services. In addition, Dr Rudolph teaches, for example, in compliance training for company employees.
Defence of Professionals
Early on, the firm developed a specialisation in defending professionals. If a lawyer requires a criminal defence lawyer, they will naturally seek out someone with outstanding legal knowledge. Dr Tobias Rudolph, who graduated at the top of his class, is especially suited to meeting those standards. Tax advisers who come under the scrutiny of the public prosecutor’s office need counsel who genuinely understands the finer points of tax law. Doctors—confronted, for instance, with charges of billing fraud or with the new legal provisions on corruption in the healthcare sector—rely on the experience of a specialist in medical criminal law who is also alive to the professional consequences that may arise.
Who We Are and What We Do
For a professional, good criminal defence begins with hard, detailed work on the case. For clients, selecting a defence lawyer is principally a matter of trust. Anyone seeking advice in criminal law should know with whom they are dealing. That is why you will find additional information on our “FAQ Criminal Law” page, including cases and topics from our practice. There, we also provide subject-specific updates on current legal developments (e.g., the new Money Laundering Act or fines for failing to register with the Transparency Register). We do not hesitate to publish “work samples,” either—these include commentary on court rulings (for example, the controversial criminal liability of a defence lawyer for so-called “betrayal of a client” under German law) or anonymised briefs and pleadings from our own practice. We can also advise you on choosing appropriate legal expenses insurance for criminal law matters.
The Right Defence Strategy: Expertise. Experience. Trust.
There is no single right strategy for every criminal case. Modern defence lawyers no longer set themselves apart merely by banging their fists on the table or verbally attacking the judge. A good defence lawyer has to be able to work with both carrot and stick. Sometimes, rapid and forceful action is the key to success; sometimes, a watchful waiting game is more prudent, reserving decisive action for exactly the right moment. Some cases may be resolved by skilful negotiation with the prosecutor or judge. Often—though not always—the best result comes from strong legal arguments. Ultimately, however, the best defence strategy is to prevent the initiation of criminal proceedings in the first place. Which strategy is right for you depends not only on the specifics of your case but also on the cooperation of all those involved. The essential ingredients on this path are: expertise, experience, and trust.
