The development of a company often represents the life’s work of the entrepreneur and means more than the simple creation of income and wealth. Designing a suitable succession model in order to avoid divestiture of the company is an important matter. Entrepreneurs are, as a rule, poorly advised if they rely on the statutory provisions regarding inheritance, corporate and tax law within the scope of the successor question. Rarely will this basis provide a satisfactory solution to the entrepreneur and his family.

We develop suitable successor solutions for our clients. Our activities include:

• preparatory measures;
  
  - establishing a private company with all anticipated heirs;
  
  - selection and integration of the suitable successor;
  
• creation of binding obligations preventing the retirement of the successor;
  
• limitation on potential settlement demands;
  
• succession in partnerships;
  
• succession in stock corporations;
  
• anticipated succession;
  
• compensation provisions between the successor and heirs;
  
• company succession organised around a foundation.
