Written by the company

Fechner Legal offers professional legal assistance in every area of Intellectual Property Law, mainly in Copyright Law as well as in the field of Labor law in Germany. Copyright law is very important in the era of digitization of art. Artists whose artworks are published online without their consent can count not only on our help in removing the artwork from the infringer’s website or social media platform but also on our help in claiming an appropriate compensation for the illegal use. We have been dealing with copyright infringements successfully for many years. Stealing photography or any other products of human creativity is a serious violation of the law. Sadly, many people still see nothing wrong with intellectual property theft. Did you find yourself here because you infringed copyright and we contacted you? Keep in mind that according to TrustPilot rules, anyone with a conflict of interest is not eligible to review a business. We understand that the legal procedure is stressful for many and therefore your upset is fully justified. However, please remember that our aim as a law firm is to look after the interests of our clients, not the copyright infringers. Therefore, if you feel that you have violated the law and the situation is overwhelming you, consult a lawyer. If you are a competitor or opposing party to a legal dispute and your review was left only to harm us, you should know that leaving a false review is unacceptable and may result in legal action for violation of our company's personal rights, including damage to our company's reputation. Fechner Legal also offers legal services in the field of employment law. One of our main goals is to help employees in case of unlawful termination of the contract. We believe the problem of losing jobs became even more important in the economic crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. In the field of labor law, we operate comprehensively - we advise and enforce due rights, but also try to teach our clients how to prevent situations that may contribute to breach of these rights.

Through an extremely professional and holistic approach to me as a client, Robert Fechner helped me obtain adequate compensation for the damage I suffered in connection with the illegal use of the photograph I am the author.

Robert Fechner, one of the best lawyers for photographers who have had photos stolen.

Fechner Robert, lawyer, helps stolen photographers to get their rights. I understand that photo thieves make negative comments about him - also in this forum. However, he helps photographers.
More and more thieves are using photos illegally. When you write as a photographer, the thieves laugh at you as the owner of the copyright. If a lawyer writes, they write badly about him.
Good advice to all thieves who have also written in this forum: don't steal photos and you won't be in trouble!

Fechner Legal is a professional and reliable law firm

Fechner Legal is a professional, very good law firm. Robert has broad knowledge about copyright law and labour law. Additionally, he is patient, responsible and hard-working. He helped many people to solve legal problems, he support photographers with fighting against copyright infringements and thanks to him already many employees could find a solution with their employers by getting back to work or receiving a payoff and missing salary.
It is great to have such a reliable business partner as he is!
