Corporate Succession

Whether you are an entrepreneur or a wealthy private individual – we provide you with comprehensive assistance in the formulation of corporate succession, both in the structuring and transfer of your assets to the next generation.

With your personal and commercial goals firmly in our sights, we formulate will and inheritance agreements for you, represent you in disputes relating to statutory part law and in appeals against last wills and disputes among communities of heirs.

With corporate succession, we draft a succession planning that is tailored to your company and your personal situation and accompany the implementation by formulating the corresponding agreements and last wills. In the process,all aspects relating to inheritance, family, company and tax law are included in the consulting.

Another focus of consulting is the advising of foundations and their founders. From the establishment and recognition of the foundation to the maintenance of charitable status and changes to the statutes and restructuring, we show you your scope for manoeuvre and accompany you from planning to successful implementation.
