公司簡介
Founded in 1993, PASCHEN Rechtsanwälte deals with a broad spectrum of business law issues and was initially focused on providing comprehensive legal services to a predominantly medium-sized client base. Even today, we still support numerous companies in all legal matters in their day-to-day business.
In the course of the steady growth of the law firm, two additional key issues emerged, in which PASCHEN today belongs to the top providers in Germany, namely the legal enforcement of supplier rights in the B2B sector as well as insurance recourses. From medium-sized companies to global players, we support a large number of well-known companies in drafting their contracts, enforcement of their claims and protection against unjustified claims by third parties in Germany and abroad.
PASCHEN is a pioneer in digitalization, has been working paperless for a long time and communicates with clients almost exclusively electronically. In addition to interfaces in various ERP systems, we also maintain our own online client portal 
.
Our quality management system is certificated by TÜV Rheinland® according to ISO 9001:2015.
PASCHEN Rechtsanwälte has long focused on supplier rights in the B2B sector.
Our work with suppliers often starts with the drafting of contracts, template contracts and general terms and conditions and continues with the legal support of transactions, to the speedy realisation of the resulting claims at home and abroad, if necessary, also by using judicial assistance. In doing so, we always keep in mind that the debtor is usually still a customer of the company we serve.
More frequently, we also deal with questions in connection with customers who have become insolvent or who are directly threatened by insolvency. In these cases, we support our clients in all questions of securing their claims in case of continuation of the business relationship with the (provisional) insolvency administrator or the management in case of self-administration. In addition, we are very often involved in the protection of unjustified claims of the insolvency administrator.
Launched as a by-product of our activities for credit insurers on a small scale, recourse prosecution for insurance companies has been a further focus of PASCHEN’s expertise for more than a decade. In addition to credit and indemnity insurance, the focus here is also on legal expenses insurance, for which our team asserts claims for information, payment and damages against lawyers on a large scale.
For individual insurance topics, we offer outsourcing models in which all claims and recourse processing is handled by PASCHEN and appropriately qualified partner companies. In addition, our specialists accompany insurance companies and industrial insurance brokers in the development of innovative insurance products and individual service offerings in credit and indemnity insurance.
Our specialist’s competence is not merely derived from legal expertise but is also based on a thorough understanding of the credit insurance trade, the current market situation and the development of the credit insurance market.
In our view, first-class legal services are not limited to the qualified legal evaluation of specific issues and problems, but rather provide practical and reliable solutions that take the respective economic environment of our clients into account in a special way.
In this regard, the fact that our attorneys work closely together in numerous subject areas in practice groups has proven to be of particular value. This not only ensures the highest legal quality of the corresponding results, but often also broadens our own horizons in assessing the economic impact of solutions or measures we propose.
PASCHEN is a technological pioneer in the industry. We have interfaces to all current company software solutions for the online processing of all types of company data. Our entire file processing was already extensively digitalized when Legal Tech was still a foreign word for many market participants.
PASCHEN’s strong client orientation is also the driver for the continuous development of our efficient web portal debit.control, which provides our clients 24/7 with a comprehensive overview of the current status of the processing of their transactions, access to all documents and structural data via the internet and also offers them numerous innovative planning tools for their risk management.
At PASCHEN, we pay particular attention to ensuring the consistently high quality of the services we provide. Regardless of our own high standards, we therefore are also evaluated by TÜV Rheinland®, which has certified us under the certificate registration number 01 100 110347/004 in accordance with ISO 9001:2015 for the development and provision of legal services in commercial law, specialising in claims management in the B2B and B2C sectors nationally and internationally.
