Company Law

Companies are confronted by a flood of laws and regulations that require expert support in order to be correctly implemented

We advise entrepreneurs in their choice of legal form, the foundation and organisation of the legal structure of their operation. We provide support in all areas of business activity including the drafting of contracts, intellectual property rights, competition and cartel law, public commercial law and dealings with the authorities. We are experienced in restructuring (e.g. the introduction of a holding structure, mergers, demergers, spinning off companies or company divisions), in the establishment of efficient management structures, company acquisitions and company succession by selling or inheriting the company. 

A number of our partners also have further qualifications/education in business management. We are therefore in a position  to provide comprehensive advice to our clients at the interface between strategy and law. Individual partners also have many years of experience as in-house legal consultants and, apart from providing advice on individual issues, are also available to support projects and and provide external legal services. 

We advise our clients on both national and cross-border issues. In the latter case, we have a network of communicating lawyers that we can draw on.

Our partners have relevant experience in corporate law | business law | contract law | cartel and competition law | ICT | labour law | commercial criminal law | as well as debt enforcement and bankruptcy law.
