Chambers Germany 2026 – Corporate Crime
DIERLAMM is a leading boutique firm in economic criminal law and a reputed specialist in white-collar crime defense. With over 25 years of experience—founded in 1999 by Prof. Dr. Alfred Dierlamm—the Wiesbaden-based firm has established itself as a market leader in Germany. Its team of approximately 16 lawyers brings deep expertise in accounting fraud, tax criminal law, anti-corruption, compliance, and internal investigations.
Recognition by Chambers and Partners underscores the firm’s preeminent position: DIERLAMM has been consistently ranked in “Dispute Resolution: White-Collar Crime: Defence Counsel” for 13 years. Founder Prof. Dr. Alfred Dierlamm has appeared in Chambers Germany for 17 years and belongs to the “Senior Statespeople” band—demonstrating his leading role in Germany’s economic criminal law community. As honorary professor at the University of Trier for commercial and tax criminal law and advisor to the Bundestag, Dierlamm shapes the discourse of the discipline.
The core team is strengthened by highly qualified specialists: Katharina Dierlamm (LL.M., certified lawyer for criminal law with focus on international anti-corruption), Sarah Bystrow, and Ulrike Müller-Bank (both certified specialists in economic criminal law). This composition enables the firm to represent national and international corporations as well as individuals in complex criminal proceedings—from Wirecard to cum-ex affairs to diesel-scandal litigation. Additionally, DIERLAMM provides preventive compliance consulting and internal investigations.
