CAPELLE Rechtsanwälte has its roots in the Firm of Dr. Capelle who founded his law office in 1949 and has - together with some of today´s partners - acquired an outstanding reputation as a law firm for medium-size and larger companies in more than sixty years. The representation of foreign clients and their German subsidiaries in Germany has been in the firm´s focus since its foundation.

The combination of its manageable size and the Lawyer´s individual skills form the firm´s unique approach.

As a medium-sized law firm in Düsseldorf, Capelle has had an excellent reputation for its high-quality and serious advice in business law for decades. In a team of eight lawyers, we will focus on the areas of corporate and commercial law, restructuring & Insolvency law, Labour law, Tax law and Tax advice and law of succession and non-profit organizations.

My own area will continue to include complex M&A transactions, corporate restructuring and its tax consequences, as well as insolvency matters and contract law. You can reach me in the future at breitprecher@capelle.legal

“My interest in the commercial interactions between law and the economy, and a keen sense of justice lead me to pursue a legal career.

My motivation comes from my daily interactions with people, and the opportunity to engage and support them. I enjoy being able to help clients to achieve their objectives, whether in court, or in negotiations.

To me, building a personal and trusting relationship with my clients is paramount.”
