Sasan Hechmat studied law at the Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz. In addition to working with Frankenthal’s Committee on Legal Affairs, he was, amongst other things, able to gain court case experience in both the civil and criminal divisions of Frankenthal District Court.

As part of his Wahlstation (a period of compulsory practical training done by German law students at an organisation of their choice) , Mr Hechmat worked at the official German–Iranian Chamber of Industry and Commerce as a legal advisor in the field of international business and commercial law. He is a permanent member of the DIHK (Association of German Chambers of Industry and Commerce), and since his Wahlstation, he has, in addition to other areas, specialised in international commercial and contract law.

In addition, he expanded his specialist knowledge by completing an advanced six-month course for qualified lawyers in business and labour law. Mr Hechmat now also specialises in family law and labour law, and his combination of legal expertise and psychological empathy makes him highly reliable and trustworthy as a lawyer. Finally, Mr Hechmat is one of the managing directors of Mainz’ Institut zur Förderung von Bildung und Integration (Institute for the Promotion of Education and Integration), which has won multiple awards.

Specialist areas:
At the practice Mr Hechmat primarily looks after international commercial and business law, international contract law, immigration law, residence rights and family law, labour law, and general civil law.
He also speaks at labour law seminars organised by the practice.

Lawyer Marcus Link

Thanks to his many years of experience, Marcus Link is, amongst other things, a criminal law specialist. He displayed a keen interest in international law, criminal law, and immigration law from a very early stage, whilst his time in London also allowed him to gain a considerable amount of experience in private law and family law. His work placements at the highly respected Dawson Cornwell law firm and the reputable Vomberg law practice in Frankfurt rounded off his training.
Mr Link then passed the “Qualified Lawyers Transfer Test” at the BPP Law School in London in May 2005, which officially made him a solicitor of England and Wales and legally qualified to practise in these two countries as well.
Mr Link has worked as a lawyer for the Glöser, Acker, and Hechmat practice since September 2008.

Specialist areas:
In addition to any immigration law issues, Mr Link looks after criminal law and general civil law, including incidents such as road accidents and other civil law disputes. He is a member of the Deutsch-Britischen Juristenvereinigung, the sister organisation of the British-German Jurists’ Association.
