Fields of Expertise
Strategic Consulting
We advise entrepreneurs and wealthy individuals on difficult strategic matters, in particular with respect to conflicts involving shareholders, crisis scenarios, mergers and acquisitions of companies and Incorporation of companies and joint ventures abroad
We develop realistic solution scenarios and guide our clients until the decisions taken have been successfully implemented
Mergers & Acquisitions
We structure and negotiate company acquisitions and sales, asset deals, mergers and joint ventures at home and abroad on your behalf
Similarly, we offer you advice regarding your private capital investments which may take the form of venture capital or private equity investment schemes
Management of Shareholdings
In particular, with regard to financial investments in companies, the investors seldom fulfill their supervisory and oversight functions to the full extent. They often rely on lean ad hoc reporting. If the company reports a slump in revenue or undergoes a crisis, the investors have little room for manoeuvre
We provide comprehensive management of shareholdings. We thereby ensure that your participation rights will be effectively exercised and a prompt response provided in a developing crisis scenario. Upon special request we will also act as supervisory and advisory board members
Real Estate, Agricultural and Forest Property
Nicht nur in Zeiten langanhaltender Niedrigzinsphasen werden Immobilien sowie auch zunehmend land- und forstwirtschaftliche Ländereien als attraktive Kapitalanlagen angesehen.
Sie können einen wertvollen Bestandteil eines generationsübergreifenden Vermögensaufbaus bilden
We can support you with acquisitions and sales in this asset class. We have special experience with the acquisition and management of agricultural and forest property and land in Europe and North America
Succession Planning and Asset Transfer
We are conscious of the sensitivity and complexity surrounding succession planning and asset transfer to subsequent generations which often present the entrepreneur with the most difficult of tasks. Furthermore, neglect of succession planning may pose a risk to the preservation of company assets
We will identify those succession rules that best suit your needs, walk you through structuring and support you with its substantive implementation. Likewise, we are there to support you with asset transfers to subsequent generations
Family Office Services
You are considering the idea of joining a Multi Family Office, forming your own Family Office or own family asset management company
We will identify the advantages of the organizational forms that are of most relevance to you, explain the regulatory environment and assume responsibility for the structuring and formation of a Family Office as well as all its organizational units
If you already have a Family Office or an asset management company, we will obviously support you with its management or control
