Corporate law in Germany

German company law governs the formation, structuring and management of companies. Whether a limited liability company (GmbH), joint-stock company or partnership – each legal form entails specific requirements and liability issues. We advise you on the choice of the appropriate corporate form, contract design, restructuring and disputes. In particular, if your company operates across the border between Germany and Denmark, you will benefit from our bilingual expertise.

We also advise you on Danish company law – from setting up a company to drafting contracts.
