Schindhelm Pfisterer und Kollegen Rechtsanwaltsgesellschaft mbH

What Schindhelm Pfisterer und Kollegen Rechtsanwaltsgesellschaft mbH does

Schindhelm Pfisterer und Kollegen Rechtsanwaltsgesellschaft mbH is a German law firm headquartered in Pforzheim, Baden-Württemberg, with a second office in Stuttgart. Founded circa 1993, the firm operates as a Rechtsanwaltsgesellschaft mbH and Gesellschaft bürgerlichen Rechts, owned and managed by its founding and senior partners. It employs approximately 12 legal practitioners (Berufsträger), including multiple Fachanwälte holding specialist qualifications in tax law, labour law, criminal law, and family law.

The firm provides comprehensive business law advisory across more than 15 practice areas, including Corporate Law, Mergers & Acquisitions, Labour Law, Tax Law, IT Law, Real Estate Law, Construction Law, Medical Device Law, Insolvency Law, and Corporate Succession Planning. Its primary client segment is the German Mittelstand — mid-sized companies requiring economically oriented legal counsel for domestic and cross-border transactions, supported by entrepreneur succession planning and private individual services in family and estate law. The firm claims over 25 years of cross-border M&A experience with established networks in Europe, the United States, and Asia (Thailand, China, India, Vietnam, Taiwan).

The business model is traditional professional services revenue: court matters are billed per the German Legal Fee Act (Rechtsanwaltsvergütungsgesetz, RVG), while out-of-court advisory work is billed under individually negotiated fee agreements. Client acquisition is driven by personal reputation, referrals, recurring seminars (notably the annual Arbeitsrechtliche Jahresveranstaltung hosted with IHK Nordschwarzwald), and co-marketing partnerships with regional institutions including Volksbank pur e.G. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, and the firm has not raised external capital.
