Legal fields

Brokerage law is case law. Thorough knowledge of the jurisprudence is thus of paramount importance. In addition, brokerage contracts are frequently concluded orally so that evidentiary problems can arise in case of disputes.

The law has been tightened in a number of ways – the right of withdrawal, the principle that brokerage service is paid by the person who orders it, the Money Laundering Act – and this has also continued to restrict brokers’ freedom of movement.
