What we stand for

Since its foundation 25 years ago, WHL has developed into a leading law firm in German and international family and inheritance law. As specialist lawyers, we combine a high degree of professional competence and thoroughness with a deep understanding of the very personal issues involved in family and inheritance law.

Wherever possible, we seek amicable and pragmatic solutions so that our clients can look to the future with confidence. But not at any price: We are experienced litigators and will take your case to court if necessary.
