We see ourselves as entrepreneurs and therefore fully understand your concerns. Unlike many others, we not only take legal and tax aspects into account, but also focus on the goal and help you to improve your position through skillful negotiation.

Fields of law

The development of your company and your private assets is the focus of our advice.

Contract and commercial law

We take care of legally compliant contracts. We check drafts or take over the complete drafting. General terms and conditions, purchase agreements, rental agreements, service agreements, confidentiality agreements, termination and settlement agreements, business agreements between different companies, protection of intellectual property.

Company law

From drafting to notarization, we accompany your changes to your articles of association.
We advise on disagreements between shareholders and ensure that everything is clearly regulated.

We also help to create the best possible contractual basis for sales and succession arrangements. Finally, we also offer a comprehensive negotiation service to find a good solution for all parties involved.

Company foundations

Would you like to set up a new company, are you thinking about optimizing your company structure or are you looking for tax optimization?

We can set up companies for you at home and abroad. We can also advise you on the tax and legal restructuring of your group of companies. We are also happy to take care of managing director service contracts and advise you on the legal risks of the chosen legal form.

Restructuring

Many companies can improve their legal and economic situation enormously by optimizing their structure.
This does not always have to happen at a time when business results are deteriorating. Structures can usually be optimized even when results are positive. In doing so, we keep the interests of the shareholders in mind and think long-term.

Liability of the supervisory board and management

Are you on the supervisory board of a stock corporation or a limited liability company? Are you a managing director?
You probably already have D&O insurance and feel well protected.

Unfortunately, this is far from the case in many respects. We advise you on all the risks that affect you personally in your office.

With our advice, you will avoid any personal liability.

Insolvency law

Insolvency law opens up many new possibilities for restructuring or liquidating your business operations. With us as your advisor, you avoid personal liability risks and use the full spectrum of applicable law to find the ideal solution.
We also support you should one of your clients become insolvent. Here in particular, we can significantly improve your protection in advance. Even as an insolvency creditor, we can often save a lot for you.
