„Dieser Anwalt ist ein bisschen anders“
Die Rheinische Post mit einem Porträt des Sozietätsgründers Dr. Mark Wilhelm
For further information please contact:
"Wilhelm und seine inzwischen 30 Mitarbeiter haben eine berufliche Nische für sich entdeckt. Sie sind auf Versicherung und Haftung spezialisiert und bieten Service für kritische Situationen im Unternehmen bis hin zur Strafverteidigung. Konkret heißt das, Wilhelm ist der Partner der Industrie, von Unternehmen, die nicht täglich mit Versicherungen im Clinch liegen, sondern nur ab und an. Dann aber geht es meist um viel, viel Geld.
Wilhelms Spezialgebiet sind Managerhaftung und so genannte D&O-Versicherungen, in Langversion also Directors-and-Officers-Versicherung. Kurz gesprochen ist das eine Haftpflichtversicherung für Manager gegenüber dem Unternehmen, das sie leiten. Über seine Kunden freilich kann Wilhelm, wie jeder verschwiegene Anwalt, wenig sagen. Kein Geheimnis aber ist, dass die Vorstände und Manager der ganz großen deutschen Konzerne zu seinem Kundenstamm gehören. So vertrat er etwa die Spitze einer großen deutschen Warenhauskette nach deren Insolvenz - was ihm in Branchenkreisen viel Ansehen einbrachte."
