⚓ The Yacht Attorney®

Prof Dr Christoph Ph. Schließmann

Specialist lawyer for international commercial law

Clarity. Attitude. Responsibility.

I am not a trader. Not an intermediary. Not a broker.
I am a lawyer.

And with conviction.
I have been advising entrepreneurs, investors, family offices and discerning owners for over 30 years – with respect, independence and a clear legal view of complex issues relating to yacht ownership, operation and structuring.

My mission: Not to sell. But to understand.
I don’t sell yachts. I don’t sell a template.
I create structure. I design solution models. I translate complexity. I accompany decisions.

What sets me apart is not just my legal experience, but my attitude:

I only represent you. No third parties. No entanglement of interests.
I say what is. Even if it’s uncomfortable.
I stay by your side. From the idea to its realisation.
My values – the basis of what I do
Confidentiality.
Your issues belong to you – and will remain so.

Independence.
I am your sparring partner, not your salesperson.

Discipline.
I work in a structured, solution-orientated way and with an eye for the essentials.

Clarity.
I don’t beat around the bush – I formulate what is viable.

Respect.
For your life’s work. Your priorities. Your responsibility.

Who I accompany

People who create – not follow.
People who seek quality – not the next promise.
People who value integrity – not opportunism.
People who seek substance over appearance

I work for:

Entrepreneurs and investors
Family offices and structured entities
discerning owners with an international focus

My job is not the quick deal.
It is to provide sustainable, legally sound support.

I am not a “vicarious agent” of brokers, banks or tax tricksters – but a reliable partner for people who want to make conscious and legally compliant use of their room for manoeuvre.

My claim – plain language

I believe in truth, not sales rhetoric.
I am not a smooth talker – I formulate the facts.
I name risks. I stand by my decisions. I act and remain reliable.

If you are looking for someone who will provide you with honest support, not only in legal matters, but also with responsibility for your overall project – I am there for you.
