German Bar Association (Bundesrechtsanwaltskammer)

The German Bar Association, known as the Bundesrechtsanwaltskammer (BRAK), is the national organization that oversees and supports lawyers in Germany. It sets professional standards, promotes ethical conduct, and ensures lawyers maintain high-quality legal services. BRAK also provides resources, advocates for the interests of legal professionals, and works to improve the legal system. While individual lawyers are regulated locally, BRAK coordinates nationwide efforts to uphold the integrity and professionalism of the legal profession across Germany.
