Real estate law is a key area of our expertise. We draft and notarize sales contracts for plots of land, condominiums, single-family and multi-family dwellings, investment properties for commercial investors, and even complex portfolio transactions in the whole of Germany. We support you vis-a-vis banks, land registries, tax offices, and other authorities during the transaction. Are you planning a transfer of real estate, either personal or commercial? We can also help you with deeds of donation as part of an anticipated inheritance or company successions. We also have extensive experience with the division of condominiums and part-ownerships, as well as with property developer contracts.

We have exceptional and extensive experience and expertise with complex M&A transactions, thanks to several years spent working in large commercial law firms. Whether asset or share deals – we can support, advise, and assist you with all associated legal questions connected with the preparation and execution of the deals in cadastral registers, commercial registers, and with the authorities. This obviously includes advice regarding necessary proof of existence and registration and proxies, as well as obtaining all other documents required for the transactions, in a reliable manner and on schedule.

Do you want to establish a company? We will help you in considering and selecting the best legal form of a company for you. Whether sole proprietorship, partnership, or stock corporation – we will explain to you the major differences between these legal forms and help you to diligently compare the advantages and disadvantages of each form. Once established, we will accompany you in notarial matters throughout the whole life cycle of your company. For example, with increases in capital stock, changes to the articles of incorporation, transfers of shares, restructuring, and all commercial register notifications. We also have extensive experience with the notarial recording of shareholder meetings for public stock companies.

When it comes to marriage, it may be advisable to protect both parties with a pre-nuptial agreement, in the unlikely case of a subsequent separation. Your professional existence and assets could be endangered by the complex risks resulting from a possible divorce. We will be happy to advise you and your partner as to how you can best protect yourselves against any negative financial consequences regarding separation or divorce. We can also assist you with adoptions and acknowledgement of paternity.

Inheritance affects us all sooner or later – for example, when a family member passes away and the estate has to be managed. Many questions arise in such cases and the result is often one of disputes among the heirs. We give you comprehensible answers and do everything we can to solve disagreements. Consulting with foresight, we can help you with the planning of the inheritance of companies or private assets, to ensure the avoidance of expensive conflicts and that the estate is secured in the interests of the next generation. We will be happy to work together with your consultants, to ensure that all aspects are considered in your interest. In addition, we can assist you in obtaining a certificate of inheritance, a European Certificate of Succession, or a grant of probate.

As a result of an accident or illness, you might find yourself in a situation in which you are no longer able to handle your own affairs. Unfortunately, your family members are not automatically authorized to take care of them for you. Even spouses and close relatives cannot legally represent an incapacitated person without previously having been conferred with a power of attorney or similar authority. If you want to avoid having a court-appointed proxy, you can do so with a general power of attorney for all personal and commercial matters. We can assist you in formulating your wishes and in selecting and defining the representative of your choice. We can also help you shape a living will, in which you define how you wish to receive medical treatment vis-a-vis doctors and hospitals.

When it comes to managing the rights of others, transparency and reliability are required. As impartial, legally trained consultants with a professional code and a scale of legal fees, clearly defined by law, we are predestined for fiduciary activities. Particularly in the case of real estate transactions or business acquisitions, we can safekeep a wide variety of valuables, on behalf of all concerned. These are primarily money in notary escrow accounts, securities, sensitive company data, and other objects of value. Objects deposited with a notary in this manner enjoy special legal protection and give clients the security that these will only be handed out to the named beneficiary under precisely defined terms and conditions and that no third parties can gain access to them.

In addition to the above-mentioned, there are many other fields of law that require notarial support. We, of course, offer our reliable support and consulting services in such cases. The partners in our company are fully qualified, experienced lawyers and have already worked as attorneys. As trustworthy, highly qualified experts, they can assist you with all your legal matters.
