We advise companies and banks as debtors or creditors in situations where financial difficulties are imminent or have already occurred. The aim of restructuring is to get the company back on track before it has to undergo reorganization or file for insolvency. In our experience, whether this is successful or not depends largely on quickly understanding the various problems faced by all parties involved, identifying a common way out of the crisis and proactively managing all restructuring steps. Meanwhile, we have many years of practical experience and are lucky to know many key stakeholders personally.

We also advise companies and banks on complex financing projects for which there is no standard solution. Due to our intensive work for both sides, we understand the respective needs. This enables us to develop special financing solutions quickly and pragmatically.

In the interests of a responsible precaution for families and corporates, we provide advice on all matters relating to inheritance and compulsory share issues. We have many years of expertise in drawing up wills, transfer agreements and all related agreements.

We create tailor-made succession and asset transfers solutions. If necessary, we also represent you in court, particularly in probate proceedings. When it comes to sensitive family law issues such as divorce and related matters such as custody, contact and division of assets, we stand out, because we know the complexities of divorce law better than many others. And that the concerns of those involved are important for them as well as to us. But what we understand above all else is that most people are helped when a solution is found quickly that allows everyone involved to look each other in the eye again. We are particularly committed to this goal.

Civil proceedings are a classic field of activity for many lawyers. We differ in that we think through every case from a legal and strategic perspective right from the start. This usually eliminates unpleasant surprises and greatly increases the chances of a positive outcome. And, as a bonus, you save valuable energy and can concentrate all your efforts on the things that are important to you.

Real estate law is one of our firm's major strengths. We cover all relevant areas in this field. This includes, for example, the acquisition of project properties, clarification of issues relating to rezoning or public building regulations, legal support for the construction phase (such as drafting or reviewing contracts for work and services) and the preparation of first-class sales documents.
We handle hundreds of trusts every year and, above all, have many years of experience in complementary topics such as emissions, nature conservation regulations, BTVG (Property Development Contract Act) and land registry issues. We also have a large network of contacts for approvals, project development and sales activities, and are ideally positioned to handle large real estate projects. 

Combined with our experience in dispute resolution, we are also ideally placed to settle disputes relating to construction processes. We regularly represent a wide variety of parties in construction processes, in particular construction companies and developers, and always seek good, pragmatic and, above all, rapid solutions.

We support founders, beneficiaries, advisory boards and individuals in all matters relating to foundation law, from establishment and ongoing administration to liquidation. If things do not go as planned, we also provide support in litigation and dispute resolution.

We also advise and support family offices and private clients in all areas relevant to them, including issues of corporate succession, succession planning, acquisition of shareholdings and shareholding management. Our focus and strength lies in developing tailor-made solutions in complex situations. We support our clients in developing and implementing long-term strategies for their assets and are also happy to establish contacts for profitable investments.

We advise companies and public institutions in many areas of public commercial law, with public procurement law being one of our particular strengths. In this context, we advise and represent public clients as well as bidders in public tenders, in particular in appealing against the unlawful placing of orders.

Economically challenging times require sound legal support for entrepreneurs and companies, sometimes even in criminal law matters. Our experienced lawyers are on hand to assist with economic offences such as fraud, embezzlement, misappropriation, bankruptcy or other matters relating to commercial criminal law.

We also support companies and bodies of legal entities in complying with rules of conduct, compliance issues and other legal provisions.

We have been advising companies, founders, managers, private investors and strategic investors for many years in the context of investment transactions or buy-out structures. When entering into such transactions, we advise in particular on due diligence, the drafting of investment and syndicate agreements, and financing models such as mezzanine capital, private equity or venture capital. In the case of existing investments, we regularly deal with issues relating to employee participation, phantom shares and the legal options offered by the new FlexCo. We are especially happy to support during the exit with our many years of experience in the design and implementation of M&A transactions, the development of management buy-out solutions and the establishment of a complete separation of spheres if required.
