Corporate law -
Competent advice

When setting up a company or adapting existing structures, choosing the right legal form is crucial. We analyse your specific situation and provide you with comprehensive advice on the advantages and disadvantages of different company forms. Our aim is to find the optimal legal form for you that fulfils your business objectives and tax requirements.

A partnership agreement regulates the rights and obligations of the shareholders towards each other and towards the company. We draw up, review and customise articles of association to meet your individual needs in order to create a solid legal basis for your company and avoid conflicts later on.

All measures in corporate law have a connection to tax law. Expertise in tax law is therefore essential in order to be able to provide complete and correct advice on company law. This applies to

• Reorganisations, e.g. in the form of conversion or merger
• Conclusion of lease agreements or business transfer agreements
• splitting of businesses
• Purchase and sale of companies or company shares
• Optimisation of the company form from a tax perspective

Our interdisciplinary team of tax advisors and lawyers guarantees comprehensive advice that takes both legal and tax aspects into account.

A corporate lawyer, also known as a corporate lawyer, is a specialist who advises and represents businesses, companies and their shareholders and directors in all legal matters relating to the structuring, administration and representation of companies. These lawyers deal with incorporations, mergers, reorganisations, takeovers and other corporate matters to ensure that all legal aspects are handled correctly.

The costs for a corporate lawyer can vary greatly and depend on various factors, including the complexity of the case, the scope of the advice, the experience of the lawyer and the regional location of the law firm. Fees are often calculated on the basis of hourly rates, but flat fees can also be agreed for certain services. It is advisable to clarify these questions directly in an initial consultation with the law firm in order to obtain a transparent overview of costs.
