In terms of corporate law, we are at your side in all situations: From the foundation and structuring of your company to questions of ongoing corporate management, in reorganisations, the purchase or sale of company shares or in winding up and liquidation. Our experts will assist you in establishing employee participation programmes as well as in investing in start-ups, setting up joint ventures and other strategic partnerships all over the world. We support you in preparing and conducting shareholder meetings and in disputes among shareholders. We also advise company owners and family businesses when it comes to company succession and handover to the next generation.

M&A

We advise both buyers and sellers on bidding procedures, carve-outs and many other transaction structures. With our expertise and experience, we support you throughout the entire transaction cycle - legally and fiscally - always pragmatically, creatively and with foresight and anticipation. We will assist you all the way from the letter of intent to the closing and beyond. We conduct and organise the legal, tax and business due diligence of the target company(ies). In contract negotiations, we represent your interests with determination and a sense of proportion. We will guide you through the organisation and implementation of signing and closing as well as any post-closing or post-merger activities and also in subsequent disputes.
