In-House Training for Searches and Official Inspections

Searches and inspections by government authorities represent a particularly exceptional situation for companies. There is often uncertainty about how employees should behave correctly and which internal procedures must be followed. Misconduct in the initial phase can have significant legal and economic consequences.

Our law firm Stirnweiss | Brenner Rechtsanwälte offers in-house training for corporate clients to specifically prepare employees and executives for inspections and searches and to establish clear, legally sound procedures for emergencies.

Inspections and Searches by Authorities

Measures by the Financial Control of Illegal Employment, customs, tax investigation authorities, or the public prosecutor’s office often occur without prior notice. Random inspections and searches differ significantly in scope, powers, and legal consequences.


From the very beginning of such measures, it is crucial that responsibilities are clearly defined and employees know what cooperation obligations exist and where their rights lie. Uncoordinated statements, incorrect disclosure of documents, or unclear internal communication can significantly escalate the situation.

Content of Our In-House Training

In our in-house training sessions, we provide practical instruction on proper conduct during inspections and searches by government authorities. The goal is to raise employee awareness and create clear confidence in action.

The training covers in particular:

  • proper conduct upon arrival of the authorities
  • verification of identity, jurisdiction, and scope of measures
  • differences between inspection and search
  • rights and obligations of employees, executives, and company management
  • handling of questions, documents, data carriers, and IT systems
  • avoidance of typical errors in the initial phase

The content is based on actual official practice and is tailored to the respective corporate structure.

Establishment of Internal Company Procedures

A central component of the training is the establishment and adherence to clear internal procedures in the event of an inspection or search. This includes designated contact persons, defined communication channels, and a structured approach toward the authorities.
Prepared procedures reduce risks, maintain oversight, and effectively protect the company’s rights.

Legal Training for Corporate Clients

The in-house training is directed at company management, executives, and employees. It serves as preventive protection and meaningfully complements existing compliance structures.


The training is conducted discreetly, with a practical focus, and with clear legal orientation. The goal is to prepare companies for official measures and ensure operational capability in emergencies.
