We built this because we lived it
When you're facing the German legal system in a language you don't speak, every directory is in German, every "English spoken" label is a gamble, and the clock is running — a termination gives you three weeks to challenge it in court. We spent hours on anwalt.de and big legal sites and found almost nothing. Nobody should go through that alone.
Klarlaw is built by English speakers living in Germany — klar is German for "clear," and that's what we wished someone had given us: a clear path to a lawyer who actually works in English.

The problems we solve
Whatever the challenge, you get a lawyer who works in English — not one who just claims to.
Employment
Terminated or pressured to sign? You have 3 weeks to challenge a termination — and severance is often negotiable.
Immigration & residence
Residence permit trouble, rejected applications, citizenship, dealing with the Ausländerbehörde.
Housing & rental
Deposit not returned, rent increases, defects, eviction threats — tenant rights in Germany are strong.
Victim of a crime
Assault, fraud, theft, harassment — file a criminal complaint (Strafanzeige) properly, join proceedings (Nebenklage), claim compensation.
Family
Divorce, custody, and marriage matters across languages and borders.
Contracts & consumer
Subscription traps, disputed bills, purchases gone wrong, contracts you were rushed into.
Also: personal injury & accident claims, social security (health insurance, unemployment, pension), traffic fines, driving bans and licence problems, business and commercial disputes — and if you're the one accused, we can connect you with a defense lawyer too.
