We predominantly advise entrepreneurs, family-owned business and private equity firms, as well as other stakeholders, such as works councils, on mergers, acquisitions and debt financing.

We pay above average attention and excessive time to define our clients’ actual wishes. Our decisive team of in-house trained professionals strives to exceed clients’ expectations every time in an informal, committed and constructive manner.
