CLEAR MINDS FOR PEOPLE,
CHALLENGES & SUCCESS

In the digital age, your business also faces challenges as well as new opportunities. You need to integrate new technologies, restructure traditional processes and ensure your employees are ready and inspired.

Each sector will face different challenges that need to be resolved. You can achieve this with an experienced team by your side that offers reliable and interdisciplinary support. Our specialist team can steer your projects, provide impetus and support you with the implementation of change whether involving ICO, cloud computing, hardware leasing or similar challenges. We also identify and reduce risks using forward-thinking concepts - in the area of IT security for example.

Franchising reduces the overall level of risk and can guide you towards starting your own company and achieving financial success. This modern concept has its basis in the distribution and provision of a proven range of services or goods by a franchisee, who in turn pays fees to the franchisor.

Advantages for the franchisee include the reduced requirement for venture capital and a lower market risk. For franchisor companies, setting up a franchise system provides a good basis for scaling the business model, as well as for strategically developing the brand and the business idea further.

We offer you the benefit of our experience on the path to your personal franchise success. Our specialists already currently support many up-and-coming franchise systems and have supported many others in the past. In doing so, they have accompanied these enterprises from the very first business analysis to the development of a suitable franchise system - including the creation of a company manual, appropriate financial structures, controlling processes and the acquisition of new franchisees – all the way up to the official founding of the business. Clients advised by our firm have been awarded „Franchisor of the Year“ and „Franchisee of the Year“ awards by the Deutsche Franchiseverband e.V. (German Franchise Association).

Once your franchise has been successfully established, you can also count on the further support of our experts in all aspects related to taxation, business management, social security or contractual issues. This applies to both franchisors and franchisees and includes tasks pertaining to controlling, company leadership and employee management, marketing and strategic planning or particular questions that are specifically related to franchising. Whatever your requirements, we are the expert partner you need for developing and maintaining your own profitable franchising system.

We live in a globalised world. If you want to discover this world and find commercial success you need to develop an approach that meets your company’s goals.

We are there to support you on this journey, whether that involves investing abroad, opening new offices or making acquisitions. We can help you navigate all legal and tax challenges and we will be your reliable partner, walking the same path. We will draw up a plan with you, identify risks and discover new ways that are full of potential. We accompany you from the initial idea to the contract design all the way to posting employees abroad (Business Immigration Service).

A company crisis is a precarious situation: It can sneak up on you from the darkest corner and often only becomes evident to those responsible when it has taken hold and it is difficult to deal with.

Typically, weaknesses in everyday operations are compensated by using resources (assets or additional capital) without actually finding out the root causes.

Companies frequently only seek expert assistance at a late stage, wasting the opportunity to find potential solutions with less urgent pressure to act.

There are clearly more benefits in not drawing a crisis out of its corner by making a conscious decision to evaluate potential challenges while times are good and coming up with viable solutions.

If you want to set up a foundation or a charitable association, you will find yourself in a jungle of tax and legal regulations. Our specialist team will make sure that you do not lose your way.

We can lead you through the entire process of setting it up. We show you how you can use a foundation to structure your assets in a meaningful way. We help you clarify what your goals are and find the right legal solution just for you.

We will then work with you to design suitable articles of incorporation and to guide you through the resolutions. This way we become the intermediary between you and the responsible authorities.

On request, we also take care of the entire accounting process or audit your accounts.

Medium-sized companies are becoming increasingly dynamic. Entrepreneurs are wondering how they can organise their finances more efficiently, improve their market position and increase their competitiveness.

At the same time, markets are saturated and competition is increasing on the world scene. In this environment, it makes good sense to consider acquisitions and mergers as a way of, using synergies to increase the profitability of your company among other things. Medium-sized companies are not powerless when they engage external partners and investors (including through joint ventures). Even a (partial) sale could offer opportunities for your company if it is part of a strategic plan.

To realise this you need a strong partner at your side. We analyse your individual situation and find the best options for you. We help you find successors and also potential partners. As well as evaluating your company, we also offer transaction concepts from a legal, tax, economic and IT perspective, and on request complete end-to-end transaction assistance. Our daily experience in this area extends to transaction strategies, due diligence support, contract documentation and implementation support.

Our society is getting older and slower while the digital world is getting faster and more complex. Any entrepreneur who wants to be successful today also needs qualified, committed and loyal employees, who simultaneously enjoy technical innovations and continuous development in their field of work.

You can only attract performers of this calibre with a strong concept. Our specialist team of organisational experts, personnel developers and psychologists can help you inspire and retain the brightest minds for your company.

This also requires flexible company organizations, which attract the right kind of employee while adapting to the changing demands of the market. Our team will show you how to get the best from them. We can also offer you expert advice on restructuring your company under corporate law.

During times of demographic change and strict employment law, working time accounts provide employers with a great opportunity to keep ahead of the game in the competition for talent.

A working time account is an account that allows employees to save part of their salary or their PTO and then use this to take time off. The employee benefits through having a regular income and full social benefits during this period.

We offer you a coherent, proven complete solution, easy to implement for all types of working time accounts. We will do an in-depth analysis to find out which model suits your company best.

In this way, you are not only prepared for the future but you are presenting yourself as an attractive employer in the competition for top performers.

Long term planning is extremely important for entrepreneurs. There should be a focus on the following questions: How will the business continue when I retire? Are there plans in place to deal with an unexpected illness? How will my family and my company be protected when I am no longer heading it?

If you do not have the answers to these questions, you could be in for a nasty surprise. So we see our job as helping you manage your future. We assist you, your company and your family with the ensuring of long-term financial security, plan your succession and secure tax benefits. We can help you with the drafting of powers of attorney for provision and care, and support you in the drafting of wills.

Whether for medical practices, nursing facilities or clinics: changes in the healthcare sector present major challenges for all players. If you want to be successful in the healthcare market, you need to look after the well-being of your patients but also invest a great deal of time on financial considerations. Doctors are increasingly expected to be practice managers.

We offer you the right support: our advice will help you in all areas of business and law. We focus on your invoices. We take care of all your commercial and legal matters. We work on creating potential for optimisation. And we are there for you if you need a medical law lawyer.

Wir sind seit vielen Jahren auf dem Gebiet des Insolvenzrechts tätig. Um unseren hohen Qualitätsansprüchen zu genügen, führen in unserer Kanzlei Steuerberater, Wirtschaftsprüfer und Rechtsanwälte gemeinsam Schlussrechnungsprüfungen im Auftrag von Insolvenzgerichten sowie Kassenprüfungen nach § 69 Satz 2 InsO im Auftrag von Gläubigerausschüssen durch.

Unsere Experten bündeln ihr interdisziplinäres Know-how und erbringen die erforderlichen Prüfungen transparent, effizient und IT-gestützt. Dabei gehen wir wie folgt vor: Zunächst erfolgt eine analytische Durchsicht der Unterlagen unter Einbeziehung einer ersten Risikoeinschätzung.

Anschließend legen wir die Prüfungsschwerpunkte fest und es erfolgt die Prüfung in enger Abstimmung mit den Verfahrensbeteiligten vor Ort bei dem Insolvenzverwalter bzw. der eigenverwaltenden Schuldnerin sowie in unseren Kanzleiräumen. Nach Abschluss eines Prüfungsabschnittes erhalten der Gläubigerausschuss und der Insolvenzverwalter bzw. das Insolvenzgericht einen umfassenden Überblick über die Ergebnisse auf Basis eines detaillierten und aussagekräftigen Prüfberichts.
