Corporate Succession

One of our main fields of activity covers corporate succession. This is carried out either by transferring (even just a part of) the company during the owner's lifetime (see also law of succession/anticipated succession) or by transfer after death; however, it is usually a combination of the two. It is always necessary to take various legal fields extensively into consideration. This affects corporate law (transferring a partner's shares, etc.), family law (provisions regarding matrimonial property agreements), the law of succession (wills, contracts of inheritance) and tax law (avoiding donation/gift tax / inheritance tax / making full use of tax exemptions). Our interdisciplinary team of tax consultants and solicitors enables us to look at the overall picture before selecting and implementing the most suitable solution for the succession of your company.
