Legal Advice in Business Law and Corporate Law

As specialists in commercial law, hba Rechtsanwälte has a particular expertise in business law and corporate law. This field is undoubtedly one of our core areas. We therefore place the highest level of accumulated competence and valuable experience at our clients' disposal on all related matters — whether for small family businesses, medium-sized enterprises or large international groups.

Our legal advice begins with the selection of the appropriate legal form and company formation. We take on legal guidance from the very outset, prepare expert opinions on business and corporate formations, and draft legally sound articles of association that clearly and durably safeguard the interests of all parties involved. hba Rechtsanwälte also stands reliably by your side as an experienced law firm in all commercial register matters, registrations and amendments. We serve joint-stock companies on all legal questions with the same meticulousness and dedication.

As business law attorneys, we engage actively in complex restructurings, reorganisations and the structuring of corporate financing. Many family businesses and joint-stock companies rely on our personal, ongoing advice on all corporate law matters. From our practice, we know how beneficial a close, personal relationship in client care can be — something we give particular consideration to in our day-to-day collaboration.

We are pleased to accompany management board members, managing directors, supervisory board members and advisory board members to general meetings and to discuss questions of corporate governance. A particular focus of our work lies in multi-layered corporate structuring as well as in the resolution of shareholder dispute situations. As lawyers with deep expertise in corporate law, hba always offers you practical, solution-oriented legal advice at the highest level, thereby creating the legal foundation for sustainable entrepreneurial success.
