Medlaw Solutions

What Medlaw Solutions does

Medlaw Solutions e.V. is a German registered non-profit association (eingetragener Verein, e.V.) headquartered in Hamburg that operates as a nationwide coordinating network of Fachanwälte — specialist lawyers holding advanced qualifications in both criminal law and medical law. The organization was founded to unify interdisciplinary legal expertise covering criminal, professional, and social law for the German medical profession under a single platform, enabling joint continuing education, experience exchange, and coordinated defense strategies across its member lawyers. Its core offering is structured around three service modules: legal consulting and criminal defense representation for physicians under investigation, preventive consulting (including internal workflow reviews and staff training on behavior during criminal proceedings), and training/continuing education programs for medical professionals on criminal procedure.

The network provides local presence across all major German regions — North (Hamburg, Kiel), West (Dortmund, Düsseldorf, Münsterland), South (Stuttgart, Munich), and Central/East (Berlin) — with the Hamburg office functioning as the central coordination point. Leadership comprises Chairman Frank Zindler (Fachanwalt für Strafrecht, Berlin), Board Member Nadia Pröpper-Schwirtzek (Fachanwältin für Medizinrecht and President of Förderverein Medizinrecht e.V.), and Data Protection Officer Daniel Scheibner. Member lawyers hold institutional roles in DAV working groups on Criminal Law and Medical Law, Deutsche Strafverteidiger e.V., and WisteV, and provide legal counsel to multiple physician professional associations including BNC, BVSD, DUO, BDN, BDP, and BVDN.

The business model is professional services revenue: legal defense fees billed per case or hourly under the German Rechtsanwaltsvergütungsgesetz (RVG) framework, supplemented by training and lecturing engagements. Customer acquisition is driven by professional reputation, referrals from medical associations, and the member lawyers' institutional positions rather than by marketing infrastructure. The disclosed technology footprint is limited to standard web tooling (Google Analytics, Google reCAPTCHA, conventional hosting); no proprietary software, AI tooling, or technology product exists. Documented outcomes include cases regularly discontinued prior to indictment through consistent early defense — the principal value proposition distinguishing Medlaw from general criminal defense practices.
