An essential part of asset accumulation and responsible company management is the well thought-out transfer of assets or a company to subsequent generations.

Our team of lawyers, specialist attorneys and tax consultants will advise you on all questions of asset and company succession or takeover. Be it within the family, the sale to a third party or the transfer of the company into so-called responsible ownership. In addition to the consequences under company and tax law, we also consider the effects under inheritance and family law and develop a holistic succession or takeover concept together with you for a tax-efficient transfer.

Last but not least, we consider with you the interpersonal issues that often play a decisive role within a family or a company.
