About Trepte Rechtsanwälte

Legal advice since 1994

1994 — heute

Our Story

Founded in 1994 as a law firm, Trepte & Partners has grown into an integrated advisory group with two specialized entities. In 2005, Trepte Legal Advisors Rechtsanwaltsgesellschaft mbH was established, followed by Trepte Financial Advisors GmbH in 2013 as a dedicated financing advisory entity.

Our approach is: Instead of sending clients from one advisor to the next, we combine legal and financial expertise under one roof to support our clients not only in legal matters, but also in financing their international transactions. With regional focus on CEE and Central Asia, and co-operation partners in Baku, Azerbaijan, as well as Akmola, Kazakhstan, among others.
