Firm & Team - personally led, strategically focused, active nationwide
The law firm of Tom Beisel is a personally led practice based in Essen with nationwide representation across Germany. The focus lies in criminal defence and immigration law - from defence in investigation proceedings to residence permits, from citizenship applications to white-collar crime cases.
Every mandate is handled under the personal responsibility of Tom Beisel. At the same time, the firm is growing deliberately: good legal work requires not only legal analysis, but also organisation, deadline management, structured file handling and reliable communication.
„Legal responsibility stays with me. But a good team makes sure that cases are properly prepared, deadlines reliably monitored and proceedings conducted in a structured way."
— Tom Beisel, Attorney at Law
Tom Beisel, Attorney at Law
Tom Beisel leads the firm and personally takes responsibility for every mandate.
In criminal defence he represents clients at every stage of proceedings - from the investigation through penalty orders and trial to appeal and revision. This includes drug offences, traffic offences and juvenile criminal law as well as white-collar crime and tax offences, including cryptocurrency matters.
In immigration law he advises and represents clients on residence permits, citizenship, family reunification, asylum proceedings and protection against deportation - as well as on residence matters for skilled workers and entrepreneurs.
Advice is provided in German, English and Russian. Representation is available throughout Germany.
Amelie Kollek - Legal Assistant
Amelie Kollek supports the firm as a legal assistant.
She assists with legal research, file preparation, case-law analysis and the groundwork for complex legal questions. This work creates the foundation for a clear legal strategy. Legal responsibility and conduct of every mandate remain exclusively with Tom Beisel.
„What I value most in casework is the moment when a confusing set of facts turns into a clear structure."
— Amelie Kollek, Legal Assistant
Her professional interests lie in criminal law and immigration law. Behind every case there is an individual story: ongoing investigations, residence questions, deadlines and often existential decisions. She takes particular interest in matters with an international dimension - such as skilled worker immigration or white-collar and tax criminal law.
Her strengths are analytical thinking, precise research and a structured approach that makes results transparent.
A former competitive athlete, she still trains daily. Discipline and endurance shape her work as much as her sport. Her English skills, which she maintains through regular international travel, are an asset in cases with an international dimension.
Amelie Kollek speaks German and English.
Ayah Nabelsi - Trainee Legal Assistant
Ayah Nabelsi is training with the firm to become a qualified legal assistant.
She supports organisation, file management, deadline monitoring and client contact. In criminal and immigration proceedings in particular, reliable communication, discretion and structured preparation are essential.
„What matters to me is that clients are reliably supported and feel that their concerns are in good hands."
— Ayah Nabelsi, Trainee Legal Assistant
Her language skills in German, English and Arabic allow her to support the firm in internationally oriented cases as well.
Personal responsibility instead of an anonymous structure
The firm remains deliberately personal in its approach. Clients should know who is responsible for their case, which steps make sense and what risks exist.
This means:
- →clear legal responsibility
- →direct communication
- →structured case analysis
- →honest assessment of risk
- →discreet handling of mandates
- →reliable organisation
- →digital working methods
- →nationwide representation
A growing team does not mean that cases become anonymous. It means that organisation, preparation and processing become more reliable.
Why teamwork makes the difference
Criminal law and immigration law are time-critical. They involve deadlines, summonses, ongoing investigations, residence status, assets or the threat of deportation.
In white-collar and tax criminal proceedings the files are extensive and the facts technical. In immigration proceedings, deadlines, complete documentation and the right communication with embassies and immigration authorities often decide the outcome. In both areas the same applies: preparation决 decides.
A good team ensures that documents are organised, deadlines monitored and proceedings prepared. That is the foundation for good legal work.
The firm therefore grows deliberately - not towards volume, but towards quality, structure and reliability.
