Entrepreneurs are frequently confronted with the following questions in the area of corporate law:

What has to be considered when buying and selling companies or shares in companies?

There are a number of pitfalls to be aware of, both in terms of corporate law and tax law. Wrong decisions can be very expensive and have undesirable legal as well as tax consequences. For this reason, good and thorough advice is essential.
