"SKW Schwarz offers legal competence, profound sector knowledge and an efficient, solution-oriented approach in a pleasant working atmosphere."
Our international presence
Many of our lawyers have studied or worked abroad and some of them are admitted to the bar in other countries. This international experience allows us to collaborate with partners around the world.
To us, being an international firm does not mean having numerous locations or offices around the world. For us, internationality is a way of describing our approach. Many of our clients do not limit their business activities to Germany. We make sure that their interests are represented efficiently wherever they need us to do so.
Our membership in the international law firm associations
- Terralex
- PLG International Lawyers
- Mackrell International and
- International Network of Boutique Law Firms
and our cooperation with selected partner firms ensure that we can offer our clients the best possible advice around the world at any time. As central point of contact, we are responsible for coordinating the participating lawyers and law firms.

Strategic orientation
SKW Schwarz is an independent German law firm. We advise companies of all sizes, from owner-managed firms to listed corporations, and private clients in all major fields of national and international business law. With offices at Berlin, Dusseldorf, Frankfurt am Main, Hamburg and Munich, we are present at the major German business hubs.
SKW Schwarz combines tradition and modernity. Some of our offices have existed for several decades. Many of our client relationships have been in place for years – a clear example of the importance we attach to stability. At the same time our expertise in media and entertainment law, IT law, internet and e-business law shows that we help to shape current and future trends.
With more than 100 lawyers, we regard ourselves as a medium-sized firm, which combines professional work as in internationally operating large law firms with the freedom to personal design. Our cross-location and cross-departmental cooperation procedures as well as our memberships in international law firm associations enable us to set up teams for more complex client matters and transactions, allowing us to offer our clients the best possible advice for their respective matters.
