Lawyers

Two generations.
One approach.

From the first meeting onwards, you speak directly with the lawyer handling your matter. Two generations, one shared approach: careful legal work, clear communication and a practical view of what can be achieved.

Lutz Petermann

Lutz Petermann

Attorney · Founder of the firm · Partner

Lutz Petermann was born in Dresden and completed his Abitur at a humanistic grammar school in Berlin. He studied law at the universities of Berlin and Freiburg and subsequently worked as a research assistant at the University of Freiburg.

He was admitted to practise as a lawyer in 1977 and initially gained experience at a larger law firm. In 1980 he founded Petermann & Kollegen in Böblingen, from which today's Petermann & Knipp Rechtsanwälte Partnerschaft mbB developed. He therefore brings more than four decades of legal practice in Böblingen to the firm.

His long-standing practice provides a broad base of experience, particularly where family and contractual issues overlap. He is also a long-standing classic-car expert with particular experience in legal matters involving historic vehicles, including purchase and sale, defects and statutory warranty, valuation issues and the settlement of damage claims involving classic cars.
