Corporate Law
Corporate Law is one of the ‚classic‘ fields of expertise Ahlers & Vogel offer services in. Ahlers & Vogel advise medium-sized companies and family-run partnerships, but also companies quoted on the stock exchange with regard to all "classic" questions relating to corporate law.Our advice accounts for long-term considerations and closely ties in with our clients' entrepreneurial strategies. Our activities cover a broad spectrum from necessary advice when a company is founded to assistance with structural instruments under corporate law to restructuring of a company in case of crisis. Apart from drawing up partnership agreements, articles of association, rules of procedure or agreements binding partners to exercise their voting rights in a prescribed manner, they also extend to the preparation of measures concerning company capital and ongoing advice of companies and their shareholders. When resolving conflicts of any kind we maintain a sense of proportion – whether it be the dismissal of a managing director or member of the executive board, the expulsion of a shareholder or the challenge of a resolution. In each individual case we make sure that the actions of companies and their executive bodies are correct and that those affected are able to react correctly. This involves a background of tactical advice and the effective conduct of negotiations up front - including the legal representation in judicial proceedings. In doing so we always endeavour to achieve a solution, which is commercially reasonable to our clients.
We draw particular attention to the adjustment of corporate law questions to the tax law consequences which inevitably go along with any advice on company structures. We always work in close cooperation with our clients' tax consultants and accountants.
