• ongoing advice (corporate housekeeping) on corporate and group law issues such as corporate governance, compliance and liability,
• the design of management, distribution and remuneration structures,

• advising on the establishment of companies,
• advice on corporate culture and corporate social responsibility (ESG); and

Our lawyers have special expertise in setting up charitable foundations or family foundations, with the JUVE Handbook of German Commercial Law Firms (2022/23 edition) noting our “high level of expertise in foundation law”.
