Dr Moritz Lange

Profile

The focus of Dr Moritz Lange is on individual defence briefs related to white-collar crime and tax offences as well as advisory services for and the representation of corporate clients in criminal cases, also in an international context, with an emphasis on the areas of banking, capital markets and tax criminal law (‘Cum-Ex’, ‘Cum-Cum’, reverse market claims, etc.). Dr Lange also regularly represents clients in money laundering proceedings as well as investigations in connection with industrial accidents.

With his ‘extensive experience’ (Chambers), Dr Lange is considered one of the ‘country’s market leaders’ (Legal 500). He is described as ‘highly intelligent and extremely skilled’, ‘handles large-scale proceedings with experience and complete assurance’ and is ‘unmatched in Cum-Ex cases’ (JUVE). Despite his particular expertise in large-scale proceedings, he ‘puts just as much effort and care into small cases as his big cases’ (Chambers). In 2023, the JUVE editorial team selected him as one of two criminal lawyers in Germany for its ‘40 under 40’ list; in 2026, it once again honoured him as a ‘rising star in commercial and criminal tax law’. Handelsblatt/Best Lawyers, WirtschaftsWoche, F.A.Z. and Lexology Index regularly list him among the leading lawyers in commercial and tax criminal law.
