The inception of the law firm Franz & Häberer dates back to 2005, when the two partners and lawyers Mr Frank Häberer and Mr Christof Franz took over the Leipzig office of a legal firm operating mainly in Leipzig, Hamburg, Frankfurt am Main and Paris, to continue operations as their own firm of lawyers.

Catering to a growing number of international clients and increasingly complex mandates, the firm of lawyers changed its legal form in 2014, switching from a partnership under civil law (GbR) to a limited partnership, thus creating a more flexible structure better equipped to meet the new challenges.
