With a team of 30 lawyers, we advise and assist our clients in corporate acquisitions and sales, financing rounds and mergers. Together with the M&A Tax team, we develop structuring pro-posals in line with tax, legal and accounting aspects and accompany the transaction from the in-dicative offer through due diligence and contract negotiations to closing and post-acquisition restructuring measures. We know and understand the interests and needs of our clients, from private individuals to midsized businesses, financial investors, family offices and major corpora-tions. Whether in a bidding process or one-to-one, we deliver tailor-made concepts and the entire process documentation at the highest level. Transaction security, risk avoidance and purchase pricing take priority. That’s why we believe the close involvement of the responsible partners is an important and proven success factor.
We find creative and innovative solutions for complicated and complex situations. The interests of our clients and the success of their projects always have the highest priority.
