Foundations & Associations

A further core competence of our firm is association law and foundation law. Foundations can be a suitable vehicle for private and business succession. We advise you together with our cooperation partner HLB Dr. Dienst & Partner on conceptual, tax, and legal aspects, in particular with regard to optimising the tax benefits of establishing a foundation and questions of charitable status.
