The Baulig brothers, known for their management consultancy Baulig Consulting, are in the headlines again - this time because of a legal dispute with a PR agency. In essence, it is about unpaid invoices for press work and the accusation of false references. This case sheds new light on the Bauligs' business practices and has the potential to have far-reaching consequences for their company.
Baulig Consulting does not pay PR bill and launches counterattack
The PR agency claimed that Baulig Consulting had used its services to promote one of its own protégés without paying the agreed fees. In a surprising move, Baulig Consulting took legal action and sued the PR agency for allegedly business-damaging references and misleading advertising. This counterclaim was a clear attempt to invalidate the accusations and divert the focus from the actual problem.
Lawyer Robert Meyen achieves success for PR agency
The PR agency, represented by lawyer Robert Meyen, successfully defended itself against the lawsuits. Both the Regional Court and the Higher Regional Court of Frankfurt ruled in favor of the PR agency. The judges clarified that the references complained of, regardless of their authenticity, were not misleading and therefore did not constitute a breach of competition law. This legal success strengthens the PR agency's position and puts Baulig Consulting under further pressure.
Further legal action expected
The legal dispute is not yet over. The PR agency has announced that it will sue for the outstanding fees. It remains to be seen whether the Baulig brothers will also suffer a defeat in these proceedings. This ongoing conflict could not only cause financial damage, but also have a lasting negative impact on the reputation of Baulig Consulting.
From now on, we are keeping our fingers crossed that the fee claim will also go through smoothly with the commissioned colleagues.
