Smart solutions, clear results

We are a boutique business law firm in Frankfurt am Main – committed to the highest quality standards, a strong service-oriented approach, and direct accessibility. As an agile, lean team, we deliver clear results, supported by a strong international network.

Business succession

In which situations do we provide support?

Company sale, succession & M&A

 

Pragmatic, precise, partner-led – also cross-border.

 

Whether you are selling, acquiring, or strategically repositioning – we manage the process until closing.

 

  • Business succession & sale of a company (sell-side, process, negotiation, liability)

  • Acquisition/Business Purchase (Buy-side, DD, SPA, Signing/Closing)

  • Joint ventures & strategic collaborations (structure, governance, exit rules)

  • Exit readiness/deal readiness (structuring, documents, risk filters)

Real Estate Transactions & Projects

 

Agile & efficient – with a focus on the truly relevant risks.

 

When timing, risk and documentation have to be right – from portfolio to project development.

  • Portfolio transactions (asset/share deal, due diligence, purchase agreement, closing and beyond)

  • Sale-and-lease-back (structure, lease agreement, financing interfaces)

  • Forward Deals / Forward Funding (Construction progress, risks, collateral)

  • Development projects (project contracts, milestones, amendments, exit logic)

Corporate Law: Structure, Growth & Governance

 

Complex issues explained in a way that makes them ready for a decision – clear options for decision-makers.

 

When decisions need to be prepared in a legally sound manner – from founding to conversion.

 

  • Formation & Structuring (GmbH/UG, Holding, Investments)

  • Capital measures (capital increase, shareholder loans, ESOP/VSOP structures)

  • Transformations & Reorganizations (Mergers, Splits, Changes of Legal Form)

  • Governance & Corporate Bodies (Management, Advisory Board/Supervisory Board, Liability)

Shareholder disputes & commercial law disputes

 

Clear course, short communication channels, quick response – especially in escalations.

 

When conflicts need to be resolved quickly, in a structured and consistent manner – out of court or in court/arbitration.

 

  • Shareholder disputes (voting rights, removal, exclusion, information rights)

  • Post-M&A dispute (warranties, purchase price adjustment, earn-out, liability)

  • Preliminary injunction / urgent legal protection (when time is crucial)

  • Arbitration & Complex Proceedings (Strategy, Evidence, Implementation)

Client Work

Lukas C. Brückel, serial entrepreneur

Our Team

Initial Consultation

Clarity in a short amount of time. Here is how it works:

 

  1. You outline your matter (background, objectives, timing) in bullet points or by sharing relevant documents.

  2. We structure and prioritise. What is essential, negotiable, or time-critical?

  3. You receive 2–3 realistic options, a clear recommendation, and an initial roadmap.

  4. Next step: If you wish, we move forward immediately — with a dedicated contact person, clear communication, and swift execution. If we are not the right fit, we will say so openly and suggest suitable alternatives.

You can reach out to me directly at any time. We will assess your situation promptly and provide clear, pragmatic guidance — and if we are the right fit, we will move forward without delay.
