Legal
advice
Legal issues arise in many business situations - whether in structural decisions, transactions or the drafting of contracts. Our legal advice services help you identify risks at an early stage and develop legally sound solutions.
Advisory services with a business-oriented perspective
A key feature of our advisory services is the close integration with our tax and audit teams. Many legal matters are closely linked to tax and economic considerations. That is why we never look at your issue in isolation, but always in the overall context of your business. This results in solutions that are not only legally sound, but also economically meaningful.
Our ambition
Our aim is to provide advice that is both legally precise and easy to understand. We ensure that the best solution is found for your matter from both a civil law and a tax perspective. We make sure that your contracts, structures and decisions are built on a legally sound foundation, allowing you to focus fully on your business.
Our services
- Corporate law
- We support you from selecting the appropriate legal form for your formation through to the ongoing advice of your corporate bodies. We draft and review articles of association, shareholders’ agreements and intra-group agreements. We assist with the legal implementation of capital measures and provide forward-looking advice on matters such as profit distribution. In this way, we ensure that your corporate structure is legally sound and aligned with your economic objectives.
- Tax law
- Tax law is highly complex and constantly evolving - we ensure that you maintain a clear overview. Our legal advisory in tax law combines legal precision with tax expertise. Our key areas include the tax-neutral implementation of restructuring measures and the structuring of business succession. We also represent your interests in out-of-court appeal proceedings before the tax authorities. In addition, we provide discreet advice on voluntary disclosures and all matters relating to tax criminal law.
- Mergers and acquisitions
- The acquisition or sale of a business is a milestone that must be legally secured with precision. We guide you through the entire process - from confidentiality agreements to the drafting of transaction documents. Throughout, we also keep tax and employment law aspects in view. This includes, in particular, issues such as the utilization of tax losses, real estate transfer tax and the transfer of employees. In this way, we ensure that liability risks are minimized and your interests are protected.
- Marital property law, gift and inheritance law
- Early planning of the transfer of assets is crucial for preserving your life’s work and maintaining family harmony. We provide sensitive and tailored advice to entrepreneurs and private individuals on both personal and business succession planning. We develop individual concepts that take into account your personal wishes as well as family and business interests. Wills, articles of association and marital agreements are coordinated at an early stage.
- Executive employment relationships
- Contracts for managing directors and board members require particular care, as they often include far-reaching provisions on liability and remuneration. We review and draft employment agreements that meet both the interests of the company and the requirements of the executives. We also advise on cross-border employment relationships, non-compete clauses and social security status determination procedures.
