For Olympic champion Christoph Harting , Klatt put through a counter-statement on the front page of the Bild newspaper in 2017 because of the dissemination of false statements of fact. Klatt obtained numerous injunctions against almost all relevant German press publishers for various inadmissible intrusions into their privacy for the soccer national player and 2014 world champion Julian Draxler and his girlfriend Lena Stiffel. He also took legal action against the performance of the play about the suicide of the goalkeeper Robert Enke at the Maxim Gorki Theater in Berlin.

Klatt was one of the experts who, on behalf of the respective broadcasting councils of the public broadcasting corporations ( Westdeutscher Rundfunk , Südwestrundfunk ), carried out expert investigations into the market effects of various telemedia offers as part of the " Three- " Step test ”.

In 2012, Heiko Klatt filed a criminal complaint for his then client Gina-Lisa Lohfink for alleged rape by two men using knockout drops . However, since the court was convinced that Lohfink had consensual sexual intercourse with the two, she was ultimately sentenced to a fine of 80 daily rates for this complaint for false suspicion .

In 2013, Heiko Klatt represented the rapper Sido in a lawsuit for defamation against the Viennese tabloid Kronen Zeitung .

After Serdar Somuncu was forbidden by a preliminary injunction in 2017 to continue to publicly refer to an editor of the West German Broadcasting Corporation as a “WDR cunt”, Klatt appealed to the court for Somuncu. However, the court considered the designation to be omitted.

Klatt has been editor-in-chief and author of the print publication “Rechtsssicher Online” since 2016.
