Meet the Lawyers of the Caribbean - half as dangerous, twice as sexy.


A watery grave awaits clients foolish enough to stray into German law – unless they instruct Kröck Dispute Resolution, that is.

The nine-person firm has demonstrated how it punches above its weight with a monstrous short film. Posted on Kröcks' website, RollOnFriday assumes it is a documentary.

The adventure opens with Kröck’s lawyers grinning on a yacht, and although their smiles don’t reach their eyes that's not unheard of at team drinks.


grin

'WE. ARE. HAVING. GUT. TIME.'


What's more unusual is their lack of interest in steering the boat. Jubilant but apparently paralysed with serenity, no-one touches the wheel.


G2

They'll go where they're taken.


Even as they head towards an ominous-looking storm.


storm

That doesn't look good.


crock

Nothing registering yet.


Making matters worse, lurking in the depths is, well, ROF isn't sure - Judge Kraken?


kraken

It's an abomination whatever it is.


The crack Kröck team responds by hurling books at the mighty bewigged sea beast, which crumbles under the assault of dodgy, AI-generated precedents.


huirl

Attacks on the judiciary are justified if the judiciary in question has tentacles.


judge

Poor little fella.


Triumphant, the Germans sail into the sunset, having done something possibly awful.


kriock2'We killed again!'


beat

'Don't do drugs.'


Enjoy the video at the bottom of their homepage. ROF will gladly induct these seafaring Kräckpots into the Bonkers Law Firm hall of fame, and if you've seen similar, seek medical aid but also send it in.

I was in a costs hearing on Tuesday which was exactly like that. Except that our boat sunk and we got eaten alive.

In business suits on a yacht.

Germans clearly don't know how to have fun. They should ask Mr Goodhead how to party on a boat.

Why do so many people struggle to fold their arms without looking like they are preparing to be manhandled into a recovery stretcher by a helicopter rescue squad?

Sometimes I feel that is how external counsel are trying to win the case: throw as many words as possible (or here: books) at the adversary...

Did... did the photographer not realise that there is no way they are crossing their arms in a normal fashion, what an odd pose.

What a remarkable video. Makes me more afraid of the lawyers than of the honourable mollusk...

Who on earth has been downvoting the comments? Book-throwing Rechtsanwaltere? Tentacled judges?

German judges don't have wigs! They have those red things like a biretta without the pompom (I think).
