Dr. Annette
von Stetten

German lawyer (Rechtsanwältin) | Certified Specialist in Criminal Law | Partner

As a criminal defense lawyer and Certified Specialist in Criminal Law, I bring extensive experience in complex criminal proceedings and a well-established professional network to my work. I advise and defend clients personally and strategically, with close attention to the individual consequences of each case.

I advise and defend individuals, witnesses, and companies in white-collar and tax-related criminal matters and provide guidance on compliance.

A particular focus of my practice is representing public officials in proceedings involving corruption, acceptance of an advantage, and breach of trust. I also represent clients in homicide and serious violent crime cases, as well as general criminal law matters. Further areas of focus include appeals on points of law before the Higher Regional Courts and the German Federal Court of Justice. I advise in German and English.
