Training

Are you looking for an instructor for internal training on a legal topic?

I am available to transmit my knowledge to you and your employees through the means of lectures and training. Some of the topics have already been prepared by me. However, my training can also be tailored to your company or your needs. Please contact me.

Possible topics

  • Contestable legal acts before bankruptcy: What is the debtor still allowed to do in the event of imminent bankruptcy? How should the creditor act if its contractual partner faces payment difficulties?
  • Debt collection (conclusion of the contract, invoice, debt enforcement and bankruptcy)
  • How do I protect myself as a creditor? Surety, guarantee, entry into debt, enforceable public deed, etc.
  • Screening your business operations from a legal perspective: what can be improved to facilitate the enforcement of claims?
