Abstract

On 1 January 2016, the legislator redrafted the legal basis for in-house lawyers. Since then, in-house lawyers can obtain admission as in-house lawyers under certain conditions (§§ 46 ff. BRAO). Pursuant to § 46c (1) BRAO, the provisions on lawyers apply to in-house lawyers. However, some professional duties are to be interpreted independently in the light of the fact that an in-house lawyer has only one "client" with his em-ployer. The thesis analyses the professional legal conditions as a whole and identifies weaknesses in the legal regulatory system. In particular, questions concerning third-party advice, the lawyer's basic duties, the right to refuse to testify and admission are addressed.
