Further information according to the DL-InfoV:

1. Due to the Federal Lawyers' Act (BRAO), lawyers are obliged to maintain professional liability insurance with a minimum sum insured of € 250,000. The details result from Section 51 BRAO.

The contact details for liability insurance at the Claaßen law firm are:

Provincial Rhineland Insurance AG
Provinzialplatz 1, 40591 Düsseldorf
Tel. (0211) 978-0
www.provinzial.com

With regard to the spatial scope, the following applies:
The insurance cover does not relate to liability claims from activities:
a) via law firms or offices established or maintained in other countries
b) in connection with advice on and dealing with non-European law
c) performed by the lawyer before non-European courts

2. The billing of the activity takes place in principle according to the lawyer remuneration law (RVG). As far as different billing is to be done, fee agreements (Section 34 RVG) and remuneration agreements (Section 3 a ff. RVG) are negotiated with the client before taking over the mandate and put down in text in writing.

3. It is pointed out that in the event of disputes between lawyers and the client, in order to avoid a legal dispute, there is the possibility of out-of-court settlement upon request.

The competent Düsseldorf Lawyer Association maintains an arbitration department at the following address: Düsseldorf Lawyer Association, Freiligrathstrasse 25, 40479 Düsseldorf

You can also call the arbitration board of the legal profession at the Federal Lawyer Association in Berlin with a request for arbitration in consumer matters. This can be reached as follows:
Arbitration board of the legal profession, Rauchstr. 26, 10787 Berlin, www.s-d-r.org, email: schlichtungsstelle@s-d-r.org

You can also find a platform for out-of-court online dispute resolution at the EU Commission at http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.

Please note that calling one of the offices usually means that an additional call to one of the other offices is not possible.

VI.
The perception of conflicting interests is forbidden for lawyers due to professional regulations (Section 43a Paragraph 4 BRAO), notaries are not allowed to act in a matter in which they or one of their associated lawyers was or is already active (Section 3 Paragraph 1 No. 7 BeurkG). Before accepting a mandate, it is therefore always checked whether there is a legal conflict of interest or a notarial prior involvement.
