Schleifenbaum & Adler has many years of wide-ranging experience in the field of corporate succession law. This involves the areas of corporate succession with as well as without compensation. The legal field of corporate succession without compensation comprises the drafting of wills and contracts of inheritance as well as counsel in the area of inheritance disputes on claims to legal portions with regard to company transfers or company shareholding. Our legal advice in this area especially focuses on all questions regarding donation, inheritance, inheritance tax and gift tax. Corporate succession with compensation involves both the company transfer to a corporate successor with compensation and the event of a successor joining an existing company either through acquisition of existing shares or through contribution of capital. When advising our clients in this field we can also rely on our expertise in the area of »mergers and acquisitions«. Preventive and constitutive legal support – often in relation to notarial work – presents a special focal point in the area of corporate succession. Here we rely on our specialised knowledge in the fields of commercial law and tax law – also taking into account aspects inolving inheritance law and gift law in respective cases.
