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.

How it works

1
Tell us what happened

Two minutes, in English. A rough idea is enough — everything is confidential.

2
We match you with a lawyer

A vetted, admitted German lawyer (Rechtsanwalt) who actually works in English — not just claims to.

3
Talk within 24 hours

First consultation free — clear next steps and a transparent quote before you commit.

The problems we solve most

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: compensation & personal injury claims, social security (health insurance, unemployment, pension) — and if you're the one accused, we can connect you with a defense lawyer too.

Common questions

Requesting a match is free, and so is your first consultation. Paid legal work only starts after the lawyer gives you a clear quote. No surprises. And if we can't find the right lawyer for your case, we tell you right away — we never leave you waiting.

Possibly, yes. Many German legal letters carry strict deadlines — a termination gives you three weeks to file a claim, and many official decisions allow only weeks to object before they become final. Send us the letter type and date — we'll flag the deadline immediately.

Every lawyer in our network is personally vetted for working-level English — consultations, documents and updates in English. That's the whole point.

No. We connect you with independent, admitted German lawyers (Rechtsanwälte). Legal advice and representation come from them; your relationship and privilege are with the lawyer directly.

The clock may already be running.

Two minutes now can save your case later.
