Legal advice at the intersection of tax law, corporate law and cross-border matters

Intro / Positioning

Legal advice with an commercial perspective 

I advise on tax-dri­ven cor­po­rate law mat­ters as well as on cross-bor­der sit­u­a­tions where legal, tax and eco­nom­ic aspects interact.

My advice is aimed at sit­u­a­tions where an iso­lat­ed legal or tax per­spec­tive is not suf­fi­cient.
Instead, legal, tax and eco­nom­ic aspects must be con­sid­ered togeth­er in order to devel­op viable and sus­tain­able solutions.

I work with a strong ana­lyt­i­cal focus and place empha­sis on care­ful legal struc­tur­ing rather than quick answers to com­plex questions. 

What I advise on

Tax-driven corporate structures

I advise on cor­po­rate mea­sures that are pri­mar­i­ly shaped by tax con­sid­er­a­tions, such as restruc­tur­ings, changes in share­hold­ings or lia­bil­i­ty-relat­ed struc­tur­ing. My focus is on legal­ly sound struc­tures that are also tax-com­pli­ant and sustainable.

Cross-border tax-related matters

Inter­na­tion­al aspects are becom­ing increas­ing­ly impor­tant. I advise on cross-bor­der sit­u­a­tions such as relo­ca­tion, dou­ble tax­a­tion, for­eign assets or inter­na­tion­al share­hold­ing struc­tures.
In doing so, I reg­u­lar­ly work in close coor­di­na­tion with tax advis­ers and, where required, with for­eign counsel.

Cooperation with tax advisers

I do not see my role as a sub­sti­tute for tax advice, but as com­ple­men­tary legal sup­port. I am fre­quent­ly involved where tax con­cepts require legal imple­men­ta­tion or where cor­po­rate law impli­ca­tions need to be exam­ined in greater depth.

Trademark law

In select­ed cas­es, I also advise on trade­mark law. This area accom­pa­nies my work as a sup­ple­men­tary field along­side my tax and cor­po­rate law practice.

Who my advice is particularly suitable for

My advice is aimed at clients whose mat­ters involve com­plex tax-relat­ed legal issues and where stan­dard solu­tions are not sufficient.

  • Entre­pre­neurs and share­hold­ers fac­ing tax-dri­ven cor­po­rate decisions
  • Fam­i­ly-owned busi­ness­es with close­ly inter­linked tax and cor­po­rate considerations
  • Tax advis­ers seek­ing in-depth legal support
  • Clients with cross-bor­der struc­tures or inter­na­tion­al connections

My work is designed for struc­tured and sus­tain­able solu­tions rather than short-term answers to iso­lat­ed questions.

Approach and cooperation

My law office is based in Frank­furt am Main. The loca­tion reflects pro­fes­sion­al stan­dards and close prox­im­i­ty to eco­nom­ic and inter­na­tion­al mat­ters – not a region­al lim­i­ta­tion of my prac­tice. Many of my man­dates are han­dled inde­pen­dent­ly of my clients’ location.

Initial orientation

I am hap­py to pro­vide an ini­tial, non-bind­ing assess­ment to deter­mine whether legal sup­port is appro­pri­ate and to what extent.

This ini­tial assess­ment serves as a first ori­en­ta­tion and does not replace com­pre­hen­sive legal advice. Any in-depth review will be car­ried out on the basis of a sep­a­rate engage­ment. Eine ver­tiefte Prü­fung erfol­gt – sofern gewün­scht – im Rah­men ein­er geson­derten Beauftragung.

Contact

If you are fac­ing a mat­ter with tax, cor­po­rate or cross-bor­der impli­ca­tions, you are wel­come to con­tact me.

Please describe your sit­u­a­tion as specif­i­cal­ly as pos­si­ble so that I can assess whether and how I may be able to assist you.
