Legal advice at the intersection of tax law, corporate law and cross-border matters
Tax law and corÂpoÂrate law often require an inteÂgratÂed perÂspecÂtive, parÂticÂuÂlarÂly in comÂplex or cross-borÂder situations.
I advise you where tax matÂters affect legal strucÂtures or where existÂing strucÂtures require a legal assessment.
This is parÂticÂuÂlarÂly relÂeÂvant in sitÂuÂaÂtions such as:
- restrucÂturÂings and parÂticÂiÂpaÂtion models
- cross-borÂder matters
- colÂlabÂoÂraÂtion with tax adviÂsors on comÂplex issues
- legal clasÂsiÂfiÂcaÂtion of tax-driÂven structures
My approach focusÂes on strucÂtured analyÂsis and legalÂly sound solutions.
Intro / Positioning
Legal advice with an commercial perspective
I advise on tax-driÂven corÂpoÂrate law matÂters as well as on cross-borÂder sitÂuÂaÂtions where legal, tax and ecoÂnomÂic aspects interact.
My advice is aimed at sitÂuÂaÂtions where an isoÂlatÂed legal or tax perÂspecÂtive is not sufÂfiÂcient.
Instead, legal, tax and ecoÂnomÂic aspects must be conÂsidÂered togethÂer in order to develÂop viable and susÂtainÂable solutions.
I work with a strong anaÂlytÂiÂcal focus and place emphaÂsis on careÂful legal strucÂturÂing rather than quick answers to comÂplex questions.
FurÂther perÂspecÂtives from my adviÂsoÂry pracÂtice can be found in the secÂtion Insights and Legal PerÂspecÂtive, where selectÂed topÂics at the interÂsecÂtion of tax law, corÂpoÂrate law and cross-borÂder matÂters are disÂcussed in greater detail.
What I advise on
My adviÂsoÂry work freÂquentÂly involves sitÂuÂaÂtions in which tax planÂning requires addiÂtionÂal legal strucÂturÂing under GerÂman corÂpoÂrate or civÂil law.
Tax-driven corporate structures
I advise on corÂpoÂrate meaÂsures that are priÂmarÂiÂly shaped by tax conÂsidÂerÂaÂtions, such as restrucÂturÂings, changes in shareÂholdÂings or liaÂbilÂiÂty-relatÂed strucÂturÂing. My focus is on legalÂly sound strucÂtures that are also tax-comÂpliÂant and susÂtainÂable.

Cross-border tax-related matters
InterÂnaÂtionÂal aspects are becomÂing increasÂingÂly imporÂtant. I advise on cross-borÂder sitÂuÂaÂtions such as reloÂcaÂtion, douÂble taxÂaÂtion, forÂeign assets or interÂnaÂtionÂal shareÂholdÂing strucÂtures.
In doing so, I regÂuÂlarÂly work in close coorÂdiÂnaÂtion with tax advisÂers and, where required, with forÂeign counÂsel.

Cooperation with tax advisers
I do not see my role as a subÂstiÂtute for tax advice, but as comÂpleÂmenÂtary legal supÂport. I am freÂquentÂly involved where tax conÂcepts require legal impleÂmenÂtaÂtion or where corÂpoÂrate law impliÂcaÂtions need to be examÂined in greater depth.

Trademark law
In selectÂed casÂes, I also advise on tradeÂmark law. This area accomÂpaÂnies my work as a supÂpleÂmenÂtary field alongÂside my tax and corÂpoÂrate law pracÂtice.

Who my advice is particularly suitable for
My advice is aimed at clients whose matÂters involve comÂplex tax-relatÂed legal issues and where stanÂdard soluÂtions are not sufficient.
- EntreÂpreÂneurs and shareÂholdÂers facÂing tax-driÂven corÂpoÂrate decisions
- FamÂiÂly-owned busiÂnessÂes with closeÂly interÂlinked tax and corÂpoÂrate considerations
- Tax advisÂers seekÂing in-depth legal support
- Clients with cross-borÂder strucÂtures or interÂnaÂtionÂal connections
My work is designed for strucÂtured and susÂtainÂable soluÂtions rather than short-term answers to isoÂlatÂed questions.
Approach and cooperation
My law office is based in FrankÂfurt am Main. The locaÂtion reflects proÂfesÂsionÂal stanÂdards and close proxÂimÂiÂty to ecoÂnomÂic and interÂnaÂtionÂal matÂters – not a regionÂal limÂiÂtaÂtion of my pracÂtice. Many of my manÂdates are hanÂdled indeÂpenÂdentÂly of my clients’ location.
Initial orientation
I am hapÂpy to proÂvide an iniÂtial, non-bindÂing assessÂment to deterÂmine whether legal supÂport is approÂpriÂate and to what extent.
This iniÂtial assessÂment serves as a first oriÂenÂtaÂtion and does not replace comÂpreÂhenÂsive legal advice. Any in-depth review will be carÂried out on the basis of a sepÂaÂrate engageÂment. Eine verÂtiefte PrüÂfung erfolÂgt – sofern gewünÂscht – im RahÂmen einÂer gesonÂderten Beauftragung.

Please describe your sitÂuÂaÂtion as specifÂiÂcalÂly as posÂsiÂble so that I can assess whether and how I may be able to assist you.
