Due to professional regulations it is prohibited for patent attorneys and attorneys-at-law to represent opposing interests. Before accepting a new client it will therefore always be checked whether there is a conflict of interest.

In case of disputes between an attorney-at-law and client it is possible to apply for out-of-Court dispute resolution to the regional Chamber of Lawyers (§ 73, para. 2, No 3, in connection with § 73, para. 5, BRAO (German Federal Lawyers’ Act)) or the Conciliation Board of the Federal Chamber of Lawyers (§ 191 et seq, BRAO (German Federal Lawyers’ act)): see online on the website of the Federal Chamber of Lawyers (www.brak.de, e-mail: This email address is being protected from spambots.

An attorney-at-law is subject to the following professional regulations according to § 5 (German Telemedia Act):

Bundesrechtsanwaltsverordnung (BRAO) (Federal Lawyers’ Act)
Berufsordnung für Rechtsanwälte (BORA) (Professional Code for Lawyers)
Standesregeln der Rechtsanwälte in der Europäischen Gemeinschaft (CCBE-Berufsregeln) (Professional Regulations of Lawyers in the European Community)
Rechtsanwaltsvergütungsgesetz (RVG) (Lawyers‘ Compensation Act) and
Fachanwaltsordnung (FAO) (Rules of Specialized Lawyers).

The rules of professional law are available on the website of the Bundesrechtsanwaltskammer (BRAK) (Federal Chamber of Lawyers) under “Anwälte und Berufsrecht” (www.brak.de).
