Corporate Law & Company Formation in Germany

Company formation: choosing the right legal structure

Whether GmbH, UG (limited liability), or another legal form – choosing the right structure determines liability, capital requirements, and tax treatment. For international investors, the question also arises whether an independent company or a branch office of an existing foreign company makes more sense.

We advise you on the advantages and disadvantages of each structure and support the entire formation process – from drafting the articles of association through notarization to registration in the commercial register.

Subsidiaries and international structures

For companies already operating abroad, establishing a German subsidiary or branch office is often the key to market entry. Corporate, tax, and immigration law aspects must be considered together – for example, when the acting persons themselves relocate to Germany.

We structure cross-border corporate groups in a legally sound way and ensure a clean alignment between German and international law.

Ongoing corporate legal support

Even after formation, we support companies with ongoing corporate law matters: contract drafting, changes in shareholders, capital increases, or preparation of important resolutions. Forward-looking legal support protects against conflicts and lays the foundation for sustainable growth.

How we support you

We combine legal expertise in German corporate law with international experience and native-language support for clients from Eastern European countries. This creates a reliable foundation for your entrepreneurial success in Germany.
