A shareholders' agreement sets out the rights and obligations of shareholders (e.g. purchase rights, pre-emption rights, purchase obligations, etc.). We draw up or review your shareholders' agreement to ensure clarity and protection for all parties involved.

What opportunities and risks (in particular liability) do you face as a board member, managing director or shareholder?

These positions entail responsibility and potential liability risks. We provide you with comprehensive information about your rights, obligations and possible limitations of liability so that you can exercise your position safely.

Company acquisition: share deal or asset deal?

When acquiring a company, the question arises as to whether a share deal (purchase of company shares) or an asset deal (purchase of individual assets) makes more sense. We advise you on the advantages and disadvantages and assist you in drafting the contract.

Do your data protection measures meet the legal requirements?

We analyze your existing data protection measures and support you in adapting them to the current legal requirements in order to prevent data protection violations.

The success of a foundation depends on a clear purpose and solid governance structures. We provide you with comprehensive advice on legal, tax and organizational issues.

Copyrights protect your creative works from unauthorized use. We support you in registering and enforcing your copyrights - even in court if necessary.
