We assist with complex domestic and international mergers and demergers, as well as the formation of partnerships and companies. We also advise on the conclusion of profit transfer agreements and the acquisition of shareholdings. Corporate law arrangements inevitably have tax implications. Our advisory approach is interdisciplinary, ensuring that interfaces with all relevant areas of law are covered and that tax-optimised solutions are given special consideration.
Since our firm was founded, providing corporate law support – particularly for family businesses and the individuals behind them – has been a core area of our practice. We assist you in drafting articles of association and memoranda of association tailored to your specific family needs, draw up pool agreements, or help you establish family holding companies for asset management.
To capitalise on business opportunities, we work with you to identify any necessary adjustments to your business and provide comprehensive advice on restructuring projects and corporate transformations, not least in the context of succession planning. Our advice on such projects is always provided with a view to ensuring transaction security and tax optimisation. We support the restructuring process in its entirety, from planning through implementation to final integration into existing structures.
We also provide you with advisory and strategic support in the event of shareholder disputes, helping you to assert your interests and develop sustainable and economically sound solutions.
