Business Succession and Inheritance Law
Are you planning to set up or take over a business? Do you want to expand your business nationally or internationally? Are you facing a generational handover? Is your business currently undergoing a restructuring phase? If so, we are here to support you with advice and practical assistance. In doing so, we rely on close and trusting cooperation with your tax and/or business adviser.
Legally compliant structures for your business
We assist businesses of all legal forms and sizes with their day-to-day legal matters, whether in contract law, company law, employment law, public law, funding law, etc. The law firm Geiersberger Glas & Partner provides almost comprehensive cover for the various ways in which a business owner may come into contact with the legal system.
A significant part of our advisory work also relates to business succession, whether in the context of generational succession or in connection with the sale or acquisition of a business.
This includes the legal structuring of the business in preparation for contracts, support during contract negotiations and the drafting of contracts, as well as assistance with the execution of the relevant transactions. Our collaboration with notaries and tax advisers enables us to provide comprehensive, coordinated advice and support for such projects.
We draft articles of association tailored to your individual needs, prepare shareholders’ meetings, carry out company conversion procedures and assist you with changes in shareholder composition.
We advise you on the various forms of business organisation – whether as a sole trader or as a company. Our services cover all types of companies; for example, in the area of partnerships, this includes the GbR, OHG, KG and GmbH & Co. KG, and for limited companies, the GmbH, AG and e.G.
Inheritance law
Everyone comes into contact with inheritance law at some point in their lives, whether they have received an inheritance that is proving difficult to settle, wish to assert claims to a compulsory share, or want to organise their own estate. We therefore advise you in situations both before and after a death and support you in any legal proceedings that may arise. When it comes to precautionary agreements, we provide support in both private matters and corporate succession planning. Here, you receive services from a single source, provided by colleagues specialising in family and inheritance law, company law and tax law. Even after a death, you can rely on our expertise, for example when we act on your behalf in the execution of a will.
