Your rights in 3 steps!
Initial consultation and examination of your case
We start with an initial consultation in which we carefully examine your case. We analyze the judgment or decision to be challenged by an authority and assess the prospects of success of a constitutional complaint. To do this, we need all the relevant documents from you. Our examination includes the exhaustion of legal remedies and fundamental rights complaints. A constitutional complaint is only possible after going through all previous instances. The violation of fundamental rights must be notified.
Strategy development and submission of the constitutional complaint
On the basis of the initial consultation, we will develop a strategy as your lawyer and prepare the written grounds for your constitutional complaint. Every constitutional complaint must be submitted within one month of the last decision to be challenged. We therefore monitor the deadlines closely. We ensure that all formal and substantive requirements are met so that your constitutional complaint is admissible.
Guidance through the process
After filing the constitutional complaint, we will continue to accompany you through the proceedings. We are the point of contact for the responsible chamber or senate at the Federal Constitutional Court and, if necessary, will also prepare further pleadings in the proceedings. We will also assist you at the oral hearing before the Federal Constitutional Court. If the Federal Constitutional Court does not rule in your favor, we will also assist you with further representation before the competent European courts.
In which situations are we there for you?
Clear violation of fundamental rights
We represent you if, for example, it is obvious that a judgement or an administrative decision disregards your fundamental rights.
Exhaustion of legal remedies
Have you already used all other admissible legal remedies (such as appeal or revision) without success? At this point, we will take over the filing of a constitutional complaint for you.

A constitutional complaint is a legal remedy that enables citizens to appeal to the Federal Constitutional Court against the violation of their fundamental rights by public authorities. Pursuant to Art. 93 Para. 1 No. 4a GG, constitutional complaints can be lodged by anyone claiming that their fundamental rights or rights equivalent to fundamental rights have been violated by public authorities. The violation of fundamental rights may, for example, have been caused by an administrative act or a court ruling. The aim is to overturn the contested decision.
Anyone who feels that their fundamental rights have been violated by public authorities can lodge a constitutional complaint. This includes natural persons, legal persons under private law who have their registered office in Germany and, in some cases, legal persons who are foreign nationals, provided they are affected by a violation of fundamental rights.
A constitutional complaint can be filed after all other legal remedies have been exhausted.
A constitutional complaint must set out the complete course of the proceedings on the basis of all documents from the instances that are relevant to the proceedings.
The duration of the constitutional complaint procedure can vary greatly and depends primarily on the subject matter of the constitutional complaint and whether the Federal Constitutional Court itself is still conducting investigations. The Federal Constitutional Court usually takes several years to process a constitutional complaint. In interim injunction proceedings, however, a decision is issued at very short notice.
In the case of an admissible and well-founded constitutional complaint, the challenged decision is set aside and the case is referred back to the original court for a new decision. In some cases, the BVerfG can also make a decision directly. Otherwise, the constitutional complaint is dismissed or rejected.
The costs of a constitutional complaint are made up of court costs and lawyers' fees. While the Federal Constitutional Court generally does not charge any fees for the submission, the lawyers' fees can be considerable depending on the effort and complexity of the case. In the event of a successful outcome, these costs may be partially reimbursed.
