Trust we have earned – for your assets
Our expertise in the field of taxation has earned the trust of renowned national and international companies in various industries and of varying sizes, as well as private equity investors, affluent private individuals and non-profit organisations. We offer advice regarding real estate and business transactions to mid-sized companies, such as family-run companies and their shareholders, as well as institutional and private investors, but also for management in restructuring cases, business transactions or models for the equity participation of executives.
