Integrated advice for founders, families and established groups.
Comprehensive advice for more than four decades.
We provide comprehensive, interdisciplinary advice. In Germany, we have offices in Cologne, Berlin and Essen, and we also have an international network. Our clients include both businesses and private individuals with complex issues. We also work closely with colleagues in the profession and provide support on complex matters.
Our journey to becoming an independent commercial law firm.
When Dr Jürgen Pelka founded the firm in 1977, he laid the foundations for our current approach: comprehensive advice, consistently tailored to the individual needs of our clients. His dual qualifications as a solicitor and tax adviser shaped this ethos from the very beginning. Over the years, this has given rise to an interdisciplinary firm. Today, more than 35 professionals pool their expertise and continue to pursue this approach together.
Legal advice, auditing and tax consultancy.
We look not just at individual issues, but at the bigger picture. After all, good decisions are made when you understand the bigger picture – not just the details. Well-informed decisions require not only detailed knowledge, but above all a holistic perspective. That is why we combine academic expertise with practical experience – and think beyond the boundaries of individual disciplines. In this way, we identify interconnections at an early stage and create genuine added value.
Achieving success through pooled knowledge.
The conviction that only the combination of a holistic approach and in-depth specialist knowledge leads to the commercial success of our clients has made us what we are today: a tax-focused commercial law firm with an international network, operating for more than 40 years.
We look forward to hearing from you – your enquiry is important to us.
