Die Haftungsfreizeichnung durch Angehörige der freien Berufe und ihre Grenzen

For freelancers, even minor professional mistakes may turn into an existential threat if they have neglected to establish liability risk management. Against this background, it is advisable for them to exploit the legal ways in contractual liability disclaimers can be agreed. For example, while special professional regulations have been created for lawyers, other occupational groups lack them. In this study, Andreas Köhler examines the current legal situation with a critical eye and, from a constitutional perspective, conducts a comparison of the various stipulations, in which the genesis of special professional regulations is of particular importance. This study also aims to contribute to careful reform of the rules on the limitation of liability in freelance professions.
