Medical Criminal Law

Medical criminal law is becoming increasingly important both in terms of advice and defence.

Medical criminal law comprises the entire health sector. Apart from the potential punishability of medical errors and malpractice, medical criminal law relating to medical practitioners also deals with accusations of fraud according to Section 263 German Criminal Code resulting from invoices issued to health insurance companies and private insurance companies, but also with accusations of taking and giving bribes in the health sector resulting from the insertion of Sections 299a and 299b German Criminal Code, by which the legislator wishes to protect fair competition in the health sector.

In this context, we provide legal advice and representation at every stage of proceedings. In addition to the representation of medical practitioners, we also provide legal services to associations, associations of SHI-accredited physicians and hospitals, but also of manufacturers of medical products.
