Professional indemnity insurance: Solicitors and notaries  (§ 2 Abs. 1 Nr. 11 DL-Info)

Lawyers are required under the Federal Lawyers' Act to maintain professional liability insurance with a minimum coverage of 250,000.00 euros. The details are set out in § 51 BRAO. For notaries, this obligation arises from § 19a BNotO. The exclusions of liability listed in § 51 para. 3 BRAO and in § 19a para. 2 BNotO form part of the professional liability insurance policies taken out separately by Attorney and Notary Ralf-Bernd Rabe. Attorney and Notary Rabe operates in a liability-independent cooperation (office sharing arrangement).

Consumer dispute resolution

There is neither an obligation nor a willingness to participate in proceedings before a consumer dispute resolution body.
