Law firm for business law in Aachen

Contract drafting and consulting avoid conflicts before they arise.

Hardly anyone can escape labor law. Companies need employees, employees need a job to earn a living.

Our law firm drafts employment contracts in which the relationship between employers and employees is clearly regulated, so that employment relationships are unproblematic.

For all questions in the current employment relationship you will find suitable contact persons with us. If a company has a works council, we help to regulate rights and obligations collectively and to solve problems of co-determination. If an employment relationship is to be terminated because an employee is not working according to the company’s expectations or because his or her job is being eliminated, we help with the preparation and implementation of the separation, including representation in the dismissal protection proceedings.

Our advice is as diverse as employment law:

If you nevertheless wish to provide your clients with professional advice and retain your mandate, we can assist you in handling such problematic cases. Of course, we provide one hundred percent client protection.

It is often almost impossible to predict when an inheritance will occur. It is therefore important to take precautions to avoid undesirable constellations among the heirs or an unnecessary burden of inheritance tax and to prevent claims to a compulsory portion. Once the inheritance has occurred, it is often necessary to decide within a short period of time whether an inheritance is to be disclaimed. If an inheritance of no value is accepted, there are often questions about the possibility of contesting the inheritance and limiting the liability of the heirs. Heirs are repeatedly confronted with claims for compulsory portions and legacies.

In particular, we help with:

Disputed divorces cost time, money and nerves. We argue for our clients when it cannot be avoided. However, we work out solutions in advance that help to avoid disputes. Company shareholdings in particular should not become the plaything of a war of the roses, since their valuation on the various cut-off dates is cost-intensive and the disclosure of annual financial statements and other information concerning the company is generally not desired. We propose alternatives for ensuring that company and other assets are not included in the equalization of gains.

Companies are rarely run by a single owner anymore. This applies to both commercial activities and freelancers. The cooperation and management within a company and the modalities of leaving have to be regulated.

This starts with the selection of the legal form suitable for your entrepreneurial activity under legal, tax and economic aspects. Once you have decided on a legal form, we prepare the contracts required for your cooperation until they are ready to be signed or notarized. If you are already a member of a company, we will advise you on the obligations and possibilities arising from your contractual obligations. If you cannot find an amicable solution with your co-partners, we will represent you in court and out of court in the dispute.

If it turns out that the decision for a legal form made earlier by you and your co-partners no longer suits the current economic or personal circumstances, we will help you to restructure into another legal form, with special consideration of the associated tax risks.

Our corporate law services include in particular:

The sale or acquisition of a company involves complex problems. We support you with an interdisciplinary team in the valuation and purchase price determination as well as in the detection or avoidance of risks.

The legal relationships among merchants are multifaceted. Particularly as a result of modern manufacturing methods and distribution channels, the legal form of contracts has become increasingly complex. It is no longer sufficient to agree sales contracts between the manufacturer, the wholesaler and the distributor. Mutual obligations in cooperation in distribution and advertising as well as comprehensive liability towards the end customer require differentiated and customized contractual solutions.

The enforcement or defense of claims in civil proceedings is our task if your contractual partner pursues his interests without considering the legal situation. Already during the drafting of the contract, we have an eye on what might be in dispute later on. In doing so, we try to make favorable arrangements for you in advance, so that the dispute is not later decided to your disadvantage.

Our experience and close cooperation with tax advisors and auditors are the basis for successful support in opposition proceedings of the tax authorities and litigation before the tax courts.

There are often disagreements between the tax authorities and tax debtors about the interpretation of tax regulations. The complexity of German tax law and the continuous enactment of new tax laws and tax decrees lead to a multitude of questions which ultimately have to be clarified by the fiscal courts and the Federal Fiscal Court. With our in-depth knowledge of tax law and decades of experience in litigation before tax courts and the Federal Fiscal Court, we create the formal conditions for a decision favorable to our client.

Whether in areas of municipal business law or university business law, we assist the public sector in shaping its economic activities.
