Family Owned Businesses |
Entrepreneurial Families

We assist family businesses and entrepreneurial families, including family offices, in all questions of corporate law and shareholder-specific issues. As experienced and trustworthy advisors, we are just as reliable in general corporate law issues as we are in specific legal questions of company succession and the handing over to the next generation. In doing so, we keep in mind family tradition and the conservation of values as well as the sustainability and further development of traditional success models.

• Ongoing corporate law advice and investment management
• Strategic advice for family tribes and individual family members
• Reorganisation and optimization of corporate structures
• Corporate governance issues (including family constitution)
• Shareholder agreements (in particular pooling and protective association agreements)
• Strategic portfolio acquisitions and disposals
• Establishment of foundations including ongoing advice on foundation law
• Support in family-internal (shareholder) disputes and their avoidance, mediation and settlement
• Company succession and handing over to the next generation including questions of gift, inheritance and matrimonial property law
