We defend your copyrights and intellectual property in Germany (and we will assist you in finding a suitable legal representation for the rest of Europe)

The Internet enables worldwide access to knowledge and information, a fact that the world can and should be grateful for.

However, there is no jurisdiction that would also apply worldwide, as the internet does.

When your media content such as texts, photographs, videos, music and other creative work is copied or used by others on the Internet without your consent, you might want - in many cases: must – do something about it. But protection by American state or ferderal law ends at the shores of the Atlantic and the Pacific. The same goes for your personal rights when you are (or your business is) subject to media publications in Germany.

This is where we come in as a German law firm specialized in copyright, intellectual property, and media law. We defend your rights, here in Germany and throughout the rest of Europe.

Dirks & Diercks is a law firm in Germany that has been succesfully working for international clients for years. Your case will be handled by a certified specialist lawyer in copyright and media law („Fachanwalt für Urheber- und Medienrecht“).

Meet him in the video below:

Our focus is not only in copyright law but comprises all aspects of intellectual property such as trademarks, unfair competition law, protection of personality, data protection.

How do we take care of your matters?

Needless to say, the advice is provided by our specialists in English. Fluent knowlegde of the language is self evident. All communication between you and your German lawyer is conducted via modern means of communication, such as e-mail, telephone, or Skype. The only difference for a consultation with a lawyer in the United States is that you can stay at your home or office.

Of course, we also offer you the possibility of a personal meeting with our lawyers here in Germany (but that’s an opportunity that you would usually want to miss).

All documents required for effective representation of your legal interests can and will be submitted to our firm electronically. This is done as well by e-mail or fax. In recent years we have worked with many clients from overseas without ever a document to be filed by regular mail and without a single airline ticket to be bought.

Payment will be made in USD, so our clients do not have to worry about exchange rates.
