Practice areas

Jamal Hajjo, LL.M. · Lawyer in Berlin

Economic crime involving real estate

I represent clients in selected criminal matters involving property, lettings and business transactions, focusing on the specific allegation and a coordinated defence.

Considering criminal and financial issues together

Property transactions can involve civil warranties, regulatory duties and criminal allegations. I assess the facts supporting the allegation and the effects of statements or agreements in other proceedings.

Fraud allegations involve more than value and condition. Alleged deception, knowledge, error and financial loss also matter. A financially unfavourable contract is not automatically a crime.

A defence strategy based on reliable information

After checking acceptance and conflicts, I establish the procedural stage and seek necessary file access. Before any response, we discuss the evidence and possible consequences.

Defence is coordinated with any civil or administrative proceedings. Where useful and requested, I involve suitable colleagues. Acceptance depends on the case and resources required.

Practical examples

These examples describe typical situations. The appropriate response depends on the facts of each case.

Documents for the initial assessment

For initial assessment, provide the official letter, contract and payment history, brochures, correspondence and parallel case documents. Start with a brief description; we will agree on secure transmission of further documents.

Frequently asked questions

Do you accept every economic crime case?

No. I take selected instructions after checking subject, scope and conflicts. If another specialisation is required, I can refer you to a suitable colleague on request.
