Business Succession and Wealth Planning

We assist clients in optimizing, for tax purposes, the transfer of their family business and assets during their lifetimes or on death.

The structures we create offer legal certainty, prevent disputes, and are sustainable from a tax perspective. In key matters, we regularly obtain binding rulings from the tax authorities to ensure that our clients can plan with certainty.

Our lawyers and tax advisors in the Family-owned Business and Private Clients practice group cover all areas of law related to business succession and wealth planning – from inheritance law and corporate law to income tax law, gift tax law, and inheritance tax law.

We also advise clients who hold major stakes in listed companies with regard to capital markets law.
