Company description

Type of business

We are a law firm specializing in transactional and tax advisory. We support investment funds, startups, and entrepreneurs at every stage of a transaction - from structuring and due diligence, through negotiations, to the finalization of agreements. We provide comprehensive legal and tax support in investment structuring, reorganizations, and exits, including in the areas of private equity (PE) and venture capital (VC).

We assist clients with corporate matters, covering both ongoing corporate law advice and guidance on restructuring projects, considering the tax and regulatory implications of the decisions made.

We deliver full-service legal and tax support for transactions and day-to-day operations, combining expert knowledge with an individualized, pragmatic approach and a deep understanding of our clients’ business needs.

A key area of our practice is also advisory services for family businesses, business owners, and private clients. We integrate legal, tax, and ownership perspectives, designing structures resilient to change - within the company, the family, and the regulatory environment. We support clients in succession planning, asset protection, establishing family foundations, and organizing corporate and family governance, ensuring business continuity and clear accountability rules for today and the future.
