Who We Are

Our clients include entrepreneurs, companies of all legal forms and from all industries, as well as private individuals—we advise them on all tax-related questions.

International tax law is one of our main areas of expertise. For companies and entrepreneurs, the increasing globalization of their business activities poses special tax challenges. We offer them competent advice on cross-border issues aimed at optimizing taxation and avoiding double taxation by several states.

Tax consultancy services for German and international real estate investments (especially in the USA) are a further focus. We specialize in closed-end funds and can look back on several decades of successful experience in this field.

Our long-standing relationship with the German tax authorities and our extensive network of tax advisors, auditors, and lawyers in Germany and abroad enables us to offer our clients a very broad range of services.
