From formation to dissolution.
A company changes over its lifecycle — its shareholders, capital and structure. Its legal framework has to keep pace. We advise GmbHs, UGs, KGs, OHGs and sole proprietorships throughout the entire lifecycle.
What we do
- Formation: articles of association, managing director service agreements, commercial register filings
- Shareholders' agreements: tag-along, drag-along, pre-emption rights, severance clauses
- Capital measures: capital increases, reductions, premium arrangements
- Restructuring: mergers, demergers, conversions under the German Transformation Act (UmwG)
- Shareholder and managing director disputes, removal, redemption of shares
- Compliance advisory: managing director liability, rules of procedure, D&O insurance
Particular focus: family-owned businesses
For family-owned businesses and Mittelstand companies we develop governance structures that secure generational succession and resolve tensions between operational and ownership interests.
