Advantage through experience

Our core competence lies in the combination of corporate law and litigation as well as related areas of law. In many cases, assistance in employment law and commercial law and constantly careful strategic advice are also required.

The following is a list of typical insights into our work:

• Two shareholders have been working together for many years and suddenly the trust is destroyed.
• One partner wants to leave the company, but there is no clear regulation in the contract.
• Concrete measures of the management have to be checked for their legal harmlessness.
• In a company there is a dispute between the partners and one of them should be expelled.
• At a shareholders' meeting, disputes arise and there is the threat of contestation processes.
• A shareholder is kept away from company information and wants to exercise his information rights.
• A minority shareholder wants to enforce a special audit of management measures.
• A founder wants to withdraw from the company and needs a succession plan.
• A long-standing member of a freelance law firm wants to part with his professional colleagues.
• Shareholders want to set up a new company and need advice on the choice of legal form and its structuring.
• In a family-owned business, the succession of the company is not sufficiently regulated.
• A distressed company is to be restructured and the company needs independent advisors to negotiate with investors.
• An indirect participant wants to terminate a trust agreement and become a shareholder himself.
• A member of the Executive Board has a dispute with the supervisory board about his compensation.
• An employee has acquired vested shares under an employee participation scheme and the vesting must be enforced.
• A claim has been made against a member of the board of management for making false ad-hoc announcements.
• A company wants to assert claims against former managing directors, management board members and supervisory board members.
• A managing director is claimed against by the insolvency administrator.
• The managing director threatens to become insolvent and thus endangers the success and implementation of an investment.
• A fast growing company needs comprehensive advice on corporate law so that the legal organizational structures are clearly defined and adhered to (corporate housekeeping).
• Companies listed on the capital market need support with compliance and reporting obligations.
• After a corporate transaction, disputes arise during the execution of the contract (post M&A disputes).
• A public limited company needs support in special legal proceedings under stock corporation law (appraisal rights proceedings, release proceedings, etc.).
• A company or the shareholders need an arbitrator to clarify disputed legal issues or legal support in arbitration proceedings.
