Our offer to you at a glance:

Legal advice and drafting of articles of association

A company often lives or dies by its charter. Without a properly regulated relationship between its shareholders and directors, disputes can arise that go on indefinitely and bring the project to its knees.

That’s why we focus on getting to know you and your business. It allows us to design the structure that will best help you fly. We pride ourselves in providing a vital and personal service, going above and beyond the industry standard.

Cost and tax optimization

We will provide you with an all-inclusive quote for the entire process. In round figures, the company should not cost much more to establish than the share capital contribution.

That’s because in Germany you can use your share capital to fund much of the company establishment costs, including our fee. Even the sales tax will be refunded by the tax office.

Legal Tech helps us all make savings

We work with modern software which enables us to create tailored documents quickly, a saving which we pass straight on to you. Free from the need to spend hours drafting, we can concentrate primarily on providing you with an excellent service.

Organization of the notary appointment

Notarization with a registered Notary is an essential part of the foundation process. We are happy to organize the appointment at a convenient time and place of your choosing.

Legal information

We will give you a digested summary of every step of the foundation process for your records.

That won’t be the end of our story

We value our long-term client relationships. We will continue to provide legal advice after your foundation, and we will be at your side should any disputes or conflicts arise.
