"ab&d Rechtsanwälte have been advising us on commercial law issues for over 10 years. During these years, we have always been able to rely on very competent advice and a high level of commitment, in which economic aspects were not disregarded. The advice was given in such a way that legal disputes were avoided if possible, but if this was not possible, all the stops were always pulled out for the defense, so that together we have already achieved several successes in court."
Philipp Stern

"Competence and a healthy attitude!
Received a warning letter and now what? That's what happened to us in 2010 and we searched the Internet for help. We found what we were looking for on an Internet portal and since then the law firm consisting of Dr. Dauskardt, Mr. Bystry and Ms. Binder has been advising us. It is no exaggeration to attribute part of our success to the work of this law firm, as we have always been advised very competently and with honest and realistic assessments, both in trademark and patent litigation and in various court proceedings over the last 11 years. International growth also requires partners who work across borders and cooperate with other law firms, drafting and reviewing contracts. Unfortunately, it is frightening to see how often you need legal advice as an entrepreneur and this is exactly when the right partner is crucial. We recommend AB&D Rechtsanwälte to our business partners with a clear conscience."

"Coming from another country to do business in Germany requires trustworthy individuals guiding you to success. And that's what Tobias, Norman, and his team represent for many of us, their clients. People willing to go beyond their daily-basis business and routine to be that lifesaving advice many of us are seeking for"

"After Bone Brox GmbH was founded, the lawyers at ab&d, especially Tobias Bystry, were at our side with advice and support in all matters of competition law (especially health claims) and corporate law (convertible loans, investment rounds). Particularly noteworthy: they not only negotiate and write contracts, but also always think economically, including "outside the box", so that we not only received legal advice, but also valuable input on tactics and strategy."
