Business Advice
Growth through Strategic Structural Planning
Our business advice offers you strategic and legal support that goes far beyond standardized solutions. Whether it's structuring, optimizing existing processes or planning company succession - we guide you through complex decision-making processes in a caring and solution-oriented manner.
Advice for Founders, New Companies and Start-Ups
Start-ups and new companies face a variety of challenges that go far beyond the business idea. From choosing the right legal entity to ensuring compliance and drawing up solid contracts, numerous decisions need to be made early on and with foresight. If there is also an international context, it is all the more important to set the right course at the time of founding in order to avoid problems later on, which might then be expensive to solve.
We know from experience how important it is to set the right legal course when founding a company, but we also know that new companies and start-ups need their limited financial resources primarily for their core business and not for legal advice. For this reason, we offer pragmatic approaches and fee models that are specially tailored to the needs of start-ups.
