What we do
We support you with all of your capital markets related issues. Our offer includes the preparation and execution of shareholders’ meetings; advise on and implementation of capital measures; listing and delisting procedures; the advise of board members and supervisory board members with regard to compliance issues; IPOs; and representation in capital market fine proceedings.
What makes us different
We aim to give you legal advice not only at the highest level possible, but also customized to your company. Our service is designed to match your business model; it is efficient and transparent. Simultaneously, we have been closely networking with other capital market partners for many years, which means that you can count on the efficient cooperation of an experienced team. Because we match our advice to our clients’ needs time and again, we are continuously developing our service range. For instance, we are advising on the only existing online shareholders’ meeting in Germany so far, where participants can exert all rights, including their right to ask questions and vote, online.
