Legal Advice
When you run a business, issues of commercial law regularly arise at both operational and organizational level. The special feature of our legal advice is that it always encompasses insights gained from tax or financial advice.
Our attorneys who specialize in commercial law can provide you with comprehensive legal advice that also takes account of the tax aspects.
We offer reliable and top-quality legal advice on specific issues (such as M&A transactions and restructuring) as well as being on hand – at short notice if necessary – to provide ongoing legal support for your everyday business activities.
In 2017 the highly regarded German weekly news magazine Focus once again named us one of Germany’s top law firms in the field of reorganization, restructuring and M&A.
In the operational realm we specialize in preparing personalized contracts that provide a sound legal basis for your company’s operations and prevent time-consuming legal disputes, and where necessary, we help you enforce your rights.
In connection with organization and corporate law, we can provide individualized solutions appropriate to your business, financial and tax situation – including startups, corporate restructuring (including corporate succession), and preparing for and holding shareholder meetings.
