Our expertise in corporate law goes hand in hand with in-depth knowledge of employment and labor law, competition law and real-estate law. We assist our clients with national and international mergers and acquisitions, disposals, venture capital and private equity transactions, and complex restructurings. 

We provide comprehensive advice to high-net-worth individuals, family-owned businesses, foundations and not-for-profit organizations on all tax and legal issues related to wealth management and succession.
