One particular area of our work focuses on defending claims against lawyers and notaries.
Having represented lawyers and notaries in recourse cases for many years, our experts have extensive knowledge of the range of duties along with the particular aspects of liability law and the relevant case law. The best possible defence strategy can thus be built and employed on this basis.

Our experts also represent insolvency administrators in liability cases. This is carried out on the recommendation of market-leading insurance companies in the field. In doing so, the experts draw on extensive knowledge of insolvency law and the relevant case law.

Defending liability claims asserted against tax consultants and tax consultancy firms is another key area of our work. In complex liability and cover cases and claims for major damages, insurance companies alternatively entrust us with the role of monitoring and coverage counsel. Our experts then combine their experience in the field of civil liability law with in-depth knowledge of tax law to represent the client in the best possible manner.

The area of D&O liability is subject to constant change due to increasing regulation and the continuing development of business activities. For some time now, our experts have been representing executive bodies (managing directors as well as executive and supervisory board members) and market-leading D&O insurers in management liability cases.

Wide-ranging and complex tax law issues arise in any type of business transaction. Working alongside our specialists in corporate law, among others, we structure and optimise every transaction in the interests of our clients.

Detailed tax advice is essential when dealing with estates and business succession plans. Failure to put an optimal tax structure in place can soon become disadvantageous. We have the appropriate expertise and find solutions with our clients’ interests in mind.

The tax burden of business activities, investments and financing can often be optimised. We work out tax structures for groups of companies and help our clients to plan and implement their projects.

We advise and support our clients in criminal tax matters, tax audits and out-of-court proceedings and represent them in proceedings before the fiscal courts.

We are on hand to support real estate investors throughout the entire cycle of their activity, from the choice of the best legal form and corporate structure to the acquisition and sale of projects, and tax-optimised letting.
