Our Online Reputation Management includes an initial assessment of your current online presence. The aim is to identify potential risks in advance. For this, we analyze search engine results, social media profiles and other relevant platforms. To combat possible threats as quickly as possible in the future, we are also setting up a permanent modern monitoring system to continuously track online posts and social media activities that affect you. Early detection thus enables a quick reaction and damage limitation.

- Furthermore, our lawyers will check whether the requirements are met to assert claims for damages due to damage to your reputation.

Ensuring your Anonymity
However, the added value of professional reputation management by a law firm is not limited to just monitoring or removing published information but also extends to maintaining an individual’s anonymity. Sensitive information can be found in public registers such as the German land register (Grundbuch), the commercial register (Handelsregister) and the transparency and registration register. Our concern is to specifically restrict the public disclosure of this information within what is legally permissible. Special legal expertise is required to avoid the threat of fines and penalties in the event of a breach of reporting and disclosure obligations.
