Warning about alleged “warning letters” from a non-existent Munich law firm
The Munich Bar Association warns against letters from a non-existent law firm “Kanzlei Schmidt and Colleagues” or “KS Rechtsanwaltssozietät”.
In the past few days, letters have apparently been sent to private individuals nationwide with the subject “Pre-trial reminder” from the alleged law firm, which operates at an address at Maximilianstrasse 35a in Munich. In this letter, the addressees are asked to make payments by direct debit to a “Euro Lotto Zentrale Euro Jackpot GmbH”. ( we reported about it here )
The Munich Bar Association expressly points out that there is no law firm at the address provided. The two people named on the letterhead, “ Benjamin Kowalski ” and “ Michael Schmidt ,” are not lawyers admitted to practice in Munich and are not members of the Munich Bar Association . The “Euro Lotto Zentrale Euro Jackpot GmbH” mentioned does not actually seem to exist. Calls to the specified telephone number only result in a voicemail message that does not indicate that you are affiliated with a law firm.
The Munich Bar Association will take the necessary steps.

Anyone can check whether a person is admitted to practice as a lawyer and is therefore allowed to practice under this professional title at www.rechtsanwaltsregister.org The nationwide lawyer directory is updated daily by the 27 regional bar associations.
The Munich Bar Association is not authorized to provide general legal advice. We therefore ask for your understanding that we cannot advise on how to proceed in this matter.
