Dr. Jan Philipp Book
- Your lawyer for criminal law and commercial criminal law
As a specialist lawyer for criminal law, I can assist you in all criminal law matters.
Your criminal defense lawyer - clear, precise, committed
I defend you against criminal charges – at every stage of the proceedings. My focus is on commercial criminal law. I have been working exclusively in criminal law for more than 10 years – and develop solutions specifically tailored to your case.
Commercial criminal law
Commercial criminal law is a focus of my work. This includes such diverse offenses as fraud, embezzlement, competition and corruption offenses - often in connection with business activities. The density of regulation is constantly increasing: legislators are constantly tightening the relevant regulations.
Criminal tax law
Criminal tax law is a particularly complex area of law. The tax obligations of private individuals and companies in particular are becoming increasingly far-reaching. Tax complaints are often associated with criminal charges. These are also regularly directed against managing directors.
Insolvency criminal law
Almost every insolvency of a company is accompanied by criminal charges: these range from delaying insolvency (Section 15a InsO) to bankruptcy offenses (in particular Section 283 StGB) and allegations of embezzlement. The defense in criminal insolvency law requires knowledge of insolvency law as well as criminal law.
Money laundering
Hardly any other area of criminal law has been tightened as much in recent years as the criminal provision on money laundering in accordance with Section 261 of the German Criminal Code (StGB). The legislator has considerably extended criminal liability. The number of suspicious activity reports, particularly from banks, has also risen sharply in recent times, as has the number of resulting investigations.
Decisive defense in white-collar criminal law!
Defense in white-collar criminal law requires clear analysis and well-considered strategic decisions: always keeping the best possible result in mind.
Expertise in specialized areas
I deliberately focus on specialized areas of criminal law. I am regularly involved in lectures, training courses and publications on white-collar criminal law.
Individual client support
Every mandate has its own dynamics. I look after each client personally and individually. The lines of communication are always short, because I know that criminal allegations are always a burden for those affected.
Digital working
I use modern technologies in the processing of my mandates, especially in the fast communication with my clients. I work almost exclusively digitally.
Dr. Jan Philipp Book - Specialist lawyer for criminal law
I have been working exclusively as a criminal defense lawyer since 2012. I have been a specialist lawyer for criminal law since 2016.
My specialization lies in white-collar criminal law. Reducing allegations to their legal core and attacking them where they lack a legal or factual basis – that is my approach in white-collar criminal law in particular: to resolutely counter the authorities’ investigative hypothesis!
Let us discuss your request
Especially in white-collar criminal law, it is advisable to start your defense as early as possible. I invite you to make an appointment for a personal consultation or to contact me directly.

Decisive criminal defense for your case
In criminal law, there are no schematic solutions. Whether you are a managing director facing criminal charges or a freelancer seeking support in criminal tax law – my aim is to keep any charges as low as possible.
Managing directors and managers
The managing director is always in the spotlight – also in terms of criminal law. Criminal accusations are quickly directed at the managing director, even if he was not personally involved in many aspects. This can affect very different constellations: from criminal tax law accusations to accusations in connection with social security contributions.
Freelancers and entrepreneurs
My clients regularly include freelancers such as doctors, lawyers and tax consultants as well as entrepreneurs – whether they are accused in connection with billing or are being investigated for alleged medical malpractice or criminal tax charges.
Private individuals and companies
Criminal charges can affect anyone: in very different areas of life. I can assist you in all areas of criminal law. Companies are also formally involved in criminal proceedings time and again: whether as a complainant or a party to confiscation proceedings.
Focus on your questions
I am often asked many questions, especially at the beginning of a client relationship. You will find some key points below. Further information can be found in the specialist articles.
What should I do if I am confronted with criminal charges?
The first rule is: make use of your right to remain silent. Do not make a statement. Contact a specialized criminal defense lawyer immediately to discuss the next steps.
What should I do if I receive a summons?
Many preliminary proceedings are announced by a summons to a hearing of the accused. You have the right to remain silent – make use of this right and contact a specialist lawyer for criminal law.
What are the first steps in the event of a criminal accusation?
The first step is to carefully examine the allegations and your individual situation. We should discuss this promptly – a detailed analysis regularly requires access to the investigation file. Once I have received these, I can see exactly which accusations are being made on the basis of which evidence.
How do you provide criminal law advice?
We will discuss your concerns in an initial consultation. In many cases, this already enables a risk assessment. However, a more detailed analysis requires access to the files.
Can I come to you at any stage of a case?
Yes. I represent clients at every stage of the proceedings, from the first suspicion to the appeal proceedings. I do not represent clients in matters relating to the enforcement of sentences, but will be happy to refer you to specialized colleagues. I advise and support companies and private individuals in the filing of criminal charges.
What are the costs?
The costs are agreed individually, as each mandate is different. In most cases, billing is based on time spent. I will be happy to give you an estimate of the expected costs right at the beginning. Please feel free to discuss this – transparency is important to me.

What options are there for discontinuing the investigation proceedings?
The Code of Criminal Procedure provides for a number of options for discontinuation. These are linked to different conditions, such as the payment of a fine. This can be a legitimate defense goal, especially in white-collar criminal law, but also beyond that.
How do I prepare for the first consultation?
Any further questions? I am here for you!
If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. The earlier we focus on your defense, the better.
