    Focus
    Tax Law

    Tax law has been a main focus at our law firm since its foundation in 1933. Our consultancy services cover in particular the areas of German tax law and international (corporate) tax law, company law, accounting law as well as the national and international law governing corporate and private succession of property.

    In particular at the interface with company and trade law, we provide consultancy services with regard to all relevant tax issues. The questions that need to be answered are often very complex and are not limited to isolated areas. For instance, the potential consequences under tax law often provide orientation regarding the further approach, or even dictate the decision, for instance with regard to the implementation of a restructuring process, a corporate acquisition, an investment, or the provisions for succession.

    We provide our clients with comprehensive consultancy services at the highest level of expertise, whilst taking an interdisciplinary approach. We advise them with regard to the structuring of legal relationships, compile expert opinions on tax law issues, negotiate with the tax authorities, take part in audits and final meetings and represent them in out-of-court review proceedings as well as in proceedings before the German finance courts and the ECJ.
    Our clients are domestic and international corporations, medium-sized (family) companies with national and international operations and wealthy private individuals.
