LAW FIRM

History

The law firm, Wannemacher & Partner, was founded in 1981 by its namesake, Wolfgang Wannemacher. It was one of the first law firms to specialise in the field of → criminal tax law and → tax disputes.

<>We have preserved and maintained this speciality over the years and expanded it to include the field of → criminal commercial law.

We have kept the name of the founder of the firm, who left in 2003. Due to its consistently good reputation, the law firm, Wannemacher & Partner has established itself as a national “brand”.

We do business today as an mbB partnership company. Our eight partners are supported by other professionals and scientific colleagues and, of course, by our administrative staff.

Manual

In 1986, the firm published the „Steuerberater und Mandant im Steuerstrafverfahren“ (“Tax Consultant and Client in Criminal Tax Proceedings”) manual. Now, it is called the „Handbuch Steuerstrafrecht“ (“Criminal Tax Law Manual”) and is now published as the 6th edition by the Stollfuß publishing company (ISBN 3-08-371326-5).

The more than 1,100 page manual contains the experience and knowledge of a wide range of renowned guest authors and the members of our firm.

The manual explains all areas of → criminal tax law and administrative tax offences on a practical basis. Tax-related problems relevant to consulting are presented clearly and solution approaches and preventive strategies are demonstrated. The explanations are supplemented by a comprehensive description of the individual parts of the procedure. The risks of the consultant’s responsibility with respect to criminal tax law and laws related to fines are also discussed.

„Das Schwert des Beraters.
Es dürfte schwerfallen, eine praxisrelevante Frage zu finden, die in dem Handbuch nicht behandelt wird.“

(“The consultant’s sword
It is difficult to find a practical matter that is not discussed in the manual.”)

(RA Stahl in KÖSDI 12/99 4th edition).

The ranking published by the Handelsblatt is based on a survey from the US publisher, Best Lawyers that asked attorneys which attorney they would recommend “if they could not take the client themselves”.
