business

One of our core competences is servicing companies with a medium-sized structure. Such companies may differ in size, but they have one thing in common: the owner-led style of management and the management’s proximity to the operative business. We know the entrepreneurs‘ expectations towards their consultants on quality, efficiency and speed of response and are looking forward to meeting such demands on a daily basis. We believe that due to our economic competence and experience we can contribute a small part to the entrepreneurial success of our client.

Doing Business

Due to our international experience, our clients gladly involve us in corporate and commercial law issues of a cross-border nature. Be it the engagement of a sales agent, the foundation of a subsidiary or foreign branch office or the purchase of a company or parts of a company abroad. We mainly represent owner-managed small and medium-sized companies (SMEs) and are therefore familiar with the fast decision-making processes that are typical for these companies and can react accordingly.
In the local market, we accompany our client from the first steps into independence and self-employment and collaborate with them in a close and faithful manner in all areas of business law. Through this close and long-term collaboration, we know our clients’ business quite well and are therefore able to give them the best advice possible and the support they really need.

Intellectual Property

Intellectual Property is a valuable asset of your business.

Each company owns intellectual property, be it in form of a company name, logo, product design or invention. Intellectual property distinguishes your company from your competitor, can generate revenue for your business in form of license fees, support the recognition value of your products or services, is effective in advertisement and can even be used as collateral for a bank loan. Thus there are numerous good reasons to protect your intellectual property and make full use of the value attached to it.

Restructuring and repositioning

We know a thing or two about restructuring and repositioning!
Our specialist in restructuring and repositioning has 7 years of experience as VP Restructuring in a major bank, for which he acted in restructurings around the globe and 20 years of experience in work out situations in different countries.
As a former employee in a bank, he is well familiar with the banks’ internal reporting requirements and bank-internal procedures and is well versed with banks’ internal assessment criteria. As a result, we are able to talk on eye-level to banks and can predict, understand and to a certain extent influence banks’ decision-making processes.
Running a business ourselves, we are able to attach the right status to the economic aspects, which distinguishes us from purely legal consultants.
In particular in cases of cross-border restructuring, our multi-lingual competence is beneficial because we are able to read and analyze the documents in their original language and do not depend on translations.

Litigation

Despite the best intentions of all parties involved and extraordinary negotiation skills, litigations cannot always be avoided. We will, of course, accompany you on this path as well, represent you in front of courts or arbitration tribunals and help you to assert your claim or oppose unjustified claims.
You will not be referred from our consulting „commercial department“ to a purely forensic „litigation department“. Your lawyer, whom you have worked with so far and whom you trust, will represent you in court as well. This way we ensure that the lawyer who represents your interests in court possesses all the necessary information received from you earlier and is therefore best equipped to handle the litigation for you.
