Business Transactions

We provide expert counsel to, and legal representation of, middle-sized and large businesses of all sectors and industry branches, accompanying them through acquisitions, sales, mergers, and restructuring procedures, with a special emphasis on optimized tax structures. Our clients rely on us for comprehensive assistance in contract negotiations, drafting of contracts and their implementation. This will typically start with pre-acquisition measures (planning, financing, preparation for re-structuring, confidentiality agreements, letter of intent, legal due diligence examinations), and extend on to to post-acquisition procedures, including the complete integration of the purchased company or investment into the buyer’s existing enterprise. We also assist small and middle-sized businesses in preparing for an anticipated - inter vivos - succession, with a strong emphasis on identifying the best possible tax structure.
