Marian Härtel has my fullest trust. The cooperation with him now spans a decade. During this time, he has exponentially increased his knowledge and is, in the no longer niche area, e-sports and gaming, but beyond that, of course, also in copyright law, contract law and in UWG issues simply recommendable without reservation.
In allen anderen Bereichen hat er ebenso das Wissen um seine Mandanten vor, mitten oder nach einem Rechtsstreit qualitativ zu begleiten.

Marian is an atypical lawyer. He stands out especially because of his extremely fast availability and amazingly uncomplicated communication. In addition, you always get an expert opinion, formed based on years of experience. With Marian, you can actually always find a way, even on issues such as financing the service, whereby we never started billing by the time clock. Very sympathetic!
Client
I would recommend Mr. Härtel at any time and also consult him in the future when problems arise in the IT/gaming industry, as he advised me comprehensively/competently and competently in this area at all times, is flexible with appointments and was also available via phone/email at all times. This is, especially in Berlin, not usual and therefore particularly positive in my memory. With regard to the fee to be paid, a reasonable agreement could be reached for both sides. Finally, I follow RA Härtel's Facebook blog, on which very informative self-written articles are published daily and reference is made to current case law in the IT field, so that one remains "Up-To-Date" on a daily basis.
Client from the gaming industry
Marian Härtel is always quick and easy to reach, as well as extremely competent in his field, from GbR formation to publishing contracts and beyond. He answers all questions in detail and patiently explains any ambiguity, while being very fair and transparent when it comes to billing. Working with him is always pleasant and due to his easy-going, cheerful manner there is always something to laugh about. We will also be happy to consult him for future concerns and would recommend him without reservation.
Julian Koch
Mr. Härtel is a specialist in the field of gaming. We have spoken to many lawyers, but few had as much knowledge as Mr. Härtel in this area. Mr. Härtel is absolutely recommendable! In addition, very sympathetic: Something is only charged when a service is actually provided and not when you just give him a call.
