FAQ in the area of corporate law
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.
What options does corporate law offer for the participation of strategic investors, financial investors or even employees?
Participation in a company and its success can be attractive in many ways. You can choose between monetary assets, assets in kind or an equity stake. What is most suitable for your project depends on your company and the parties to be involved. I would be happy to find a suitable solution together with you!
What provisions are required in an investment contract?
The legal framework within which investors on the one hand and founders on the other move is laid down in the so-called participation agreement. It is therefore of enormous importance to draft it thoroughly and to take all eventualities into account.

Does my company need a new legal structure?
Over the years, decisions once made may no longer be up-to-date and may stand in the way of your company’s further progress.
