Start and grow with legal certainty.
You have an idea and want to implement it on a solid legal foundation. I advise you on everything from choosing the right legal form and drafting clear shareholders' agreements to managing investor participation and building a stable corporate structure.
Three key topics in corporate law
Making the right decisions at the start avoids liability risks and future conflicts. Clear corporate structures create security and room for maneuver. Here are the most common concerns.

What you should know now.
The most important answers regarding incorporation, articles of association, company structure, and my consulting services.
That depends on your goals, liability, tax situation, and company structure. Together, we will determine whether a GmbH, UG, or GbR makes sense for you. There is no one-size-fits-all solution, only the best one for you.
When investors are involved, the investment structure, voting rights, and exit provisions should be clearly agreed upon. Clean contract drafting protects the interests of all parties involved.
In addition to my fees, notary costs and commercial register fees may apply, depending on the legal form. For a GbR, for example, this is not required. I will show you all costs transparently before we begin. No hidden fees, no surprises.
Trademarks, patents, and copyrights can play a major role for companies. I help identify the need for action and involve specialized colleagues if necessary.
From the initial consultation to registration in the commercial register, it usually takes four to eight weeks. The process is predictable if you approach it correctly. I will keep you informed at every step. If you need it to go faster, I can assist with the acquisition of a so-called shelf company.
When a shareholder leaves the company, shares must be transferred and financial claims settled. Clear contractual provisions in the partnership agreement or a shareholders' agreement are crucial here.
A partnership agreement governs decisions, profit shares, and the exit of shareholders. For a GmbH, it is mandatory, even with only one shareholder. For a GbR, OHG, or KG, it ensures clarity and prevents conflicts.
Tax planning is carried out in coordination with your tax advisor. I implement the chosen structure legally and work closely with tax advisors if necessary so that your company is on a secure footing from the start.
Yes, but the sooner you choose the right legal structure, the better. Restructuring is possible, but it costs time and money. That is why thorough planning at the beginning is worth it.
