There’s no doubt that as an international living in Germany, when the going gets rough, finding a good English speaking lawyer in Düsseldorf can be one of the toughest parts. Finding a lawyer isn’t tough, but of course, without the right connections, sometimes it isn’t easy to even know where to get started and which type of lawyer you may actually need.
It’s also not easy to figure out which lawyers are the most affordable. To solve that issue, just make sure that you buy legal insurance right away. You can compare your price options for legal expenses insurance online to find the best rate. Liability insurance can also be a lifesaver (and usually costs less than 5 Euros a month).
So, I’ve done my research, made a few too many telephone calls, and interacted with YOU, to learn all about finding these English-speaking lawyers who can help us solve our problems and woes.

Hi Jenna, do you have a recommendation for an immigration lawyer based in Duesseldorf or Koeln? Not just a lawyer, but the best one with successful reputation.
My email: [email protected]
Thank you from Vancouver, BC.
HAPPY Canada Day ????
Hey there Roxana!
I haven’t yet been to a lawyer myself, so it’s not easy to say precisely which one I could recommend. However, you could ask the question on our Facebook group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/lifeindus/) and you’ll likely get a number of answers from expats themselves who have personal experiences. If you’re in a rush, I would suggest checking out Schlun & Elseven Rechtsanwälte as I believe they specialize in immigration law and speak perfect English (and are located in both Köln and Düsseldorf).
Best of luck!
– Jenna

I am very sorry, but to seriously write that there are 9 English speaking lawyers in Düsseldorf is ridiculous. In any reputable bigger law firm here there are more than 9 lawyers able to draft English contracts or to negotiate in their client’s interests in English in just one firm. It would suffice to look up the homepage of the Rechtsanwaltskammer Düsseldorf , i.e. the local bar, and to just insert the needed language skills – namely “English”. ?
Hi there D.L. Luters-Thümmel,
I’m so sorry if you found this post misleading. By no means are we suggesting that there are only 9 English speaking lawyers in Düsseldorf, of course, there are hundreds more. The ones in this list are the ones who I’ve met with, spoken to, or come highly recommended by the Expats here in Düsseldorf. I will change the title a bit to ensure that no one is misled by this post.
We also highly encourage new suggestions to add to the post!
If you have a law firm here and are happy to take on some new English clients, then we would be more than happy to include you on the list. We like to include law firms that are excited to take on new clients that are international and who have experience in working with English speakers. Feel free to message me at [email protected] and we can get your team on the list!
Cheers,
Jenna
