Kanzlei für Gesundheitsrecht

What Kanzlei für Gesundheitsrecht does

Kanzlei für Gesundheitsrecht (legal name: Prof. Schlegel, Hohmann, Diarra & Partner PartmbB) is a German boutique law firm specializing exclusively in healthcare law (Gesundheitsrecht). Founded in 2003 and headquartered in Frankfurt am Main, the firm operates from four offices (Frankfurt, Hamburg, Cologne, Berlin) and is staffed by nine professionals comprising lawyers, certified tax advisors (Steuerberater), and certified public auditors (Wirtschaftsprüfer). The firm delivers an integrated advisory platform that combines Rechtsberatung, Steuerberatung, and Wirtschaftsprüfung under a single partnership, addressing overlapping legal, regulatory, tax, and audit requirements in a single engagement.

The firm is organized around eight service modules aligned to distinct healthcare-sector client segments: physicians/dentists/pharmacists, hospitals and clinics, MVZs (Medizinische Versorgungszentren), pharma and medical device manufacturers, digital health / DiGA / DiPA providers, health-tech start-ups, healthcare investors (PE/family offices), and therapists/care providers. Notable capability differentiators include dual-credentialed professionals (a professor of health law, a physician-jurist), a certified data-protection officer with pharma-law specialization, multiple Fachanwälte für Medizinrecht, and a publicly appointed expert for medical/dental practice valuations.

The business model is professional-services fee-for-service: hourly billing (Stundenhonorare) for ongoing mandates, fixed-fee arrangements for defined project scopes (e.g., MVZ formation, transactions), and per-engagement commissions for formal expert opinions (Gutachten, such as the DGiV-commissioned opinion on SGB V sector-separation rules). Go-to-market is partner-led, driven by thought leadership (newsletter, conference speaking, DGiV-commissioned publications, YouTube-recorded presentations), formal legal-advisor roles to 10+ German physician associations, and an Investment Committee seat at healthcare VC platform Aescuvest — collectively generating systematic referrals and inbound interest from enterprise and mid-market healthcare clients. There is no proprietary technology platform; the firm operates as a pure professional services partnership.
