Legal Consulting at audalis

Clarity, competence, and trust in all legal matters.

Our legal consulting offers comprehensive judicial and extrajudicial support to companies, entrepreneurs, and private individuals. We pursue an interdisciplinary approach with short communication channels: everything from a single source.

Our team has specialist qualifications in employment law, commercial and company law, insurance law, and industrial property law.

We provide advice in all economically relevant areas of law, particularly in employment law and corporate law, commercial law, tax and economic law, industrial property rights, inheritance and succession law, as well as in M&A transactions. Furthermore, we advise clients on compliance issues, restructurings, and company sales.

Our working methods are characterised by clarity, transparency, precision, and digitally supported processes. Our goal: sustainable, legally compliant, and economically sound solutions through a partnership dialogue with our clients.

Our range of services

General contract law

Expert advice in general contract law: With contracts, we safeguard your economic foundation against risks. We support you with contracts, compensation for damages, warranty law and debt enforcement. Efficient, practical and solution-oriented – for private individuals and businesses.

Representation in liability matters relating to lawyers and tax advisors: for both the enforcement and defence of corresponding claims.

In employment law, we advise companies, managing directors and executives across all stages of the employment relationship. Our work includes drafting and reviewing employment and managing director contracts, accompanying restructuring and severance processes, as well as representation in employment court proceedings - from dismissal and redundancy payments to collective bargaining and works council law. Through our specialist legal expertise, we combine legal precision with an awareness of commercial and personal dynamics.

We are your partner for effectively designed compliance systems: risk minimisation, policies and internal investigations.

GDPR-compliant advice in data protection law: implementation and audits, right through to defence in the event of infringements.

Reliable estate planning and expert representation in inheritance law: wills, statutory shares, and the distribution of an estate. We take a forward-looking approach and resolve disputes in your best interests.

Anti-money laundering (AML) compliance encompasses adherence to, and implementation of, legal requirements for the prevention of money laundering and terrorist financing. Our consultancy services specifically include the development and review of compliance structures, risk analyses, internal safeguards, and the implementation of obligations under the German Money Laundering Act (GwG) for obligated parties. Furthermore, we support our clients during GwG audits, the creation of practical compliance concepts, and the training of their employees. Our consultancy benefits from sound practical experience gained from supporting AML review procedures, particularly in the fields of legal and tax advisory professions.

In corporate law, we assist companies, shareholders and corporate bodies with the incorporation, structuring and further development of companies and corporate structures. We advise on corporate law arrangements, shareholders' agreements, liability issues and ongoing matters relating to corporate housekeeping (corporate administration) and corporate financing (including venture capital). Our focus is on legally secure, practical solutions that support entrepreneurial decisions and are sustainable in the long term.

Protection for innovations and ideas: We advise on industrial property rights, including patents, designs and know-how.

Comprehensive advice on property law: purchase, sale, project development and disputes. We provide legal protection for your investments.

In commercial law, we focus our advice on commercial contracts and national and international supply and distribution structures. We draft and negotiate contracts, general terms and conditions (AGB) as well as purchasing and sales conditions. Our internationally oriented advice particularly covers cross-border supply chains and distribution models.

Cross-border advice in all our legal areas: Through our international referral alliance (in over 100 countries), we can ensure almost worldwide processing.

Turnarounds and restructuring with a long-term vision: We support companies through crises, insolvency proceedings and reorganisation.

General sales law governs the rights and obligations of buyers and sellers when purchasing goods, items or rights. We support you, whether as a buyer or a seller, from the contract negotiations right through to the completion of the sale. It makes no difference what goods are being traded. Our experience ranges from movable property and land to businesses.

Strategically protecting trade marks: registering, defending and enforcing your trade mark nationally and internationally.

With our transaction teams, we advise primarily medium-sized enterprises, shareholders and management teams on national and cross-border M&A transactions – from deal structuring through due diligence to contract closure and the implementation of these transactions. Our transaction practice stands for pragmatic, hands-on advice with a clear risk and negotiation strategy, even in complex cross-border transactions. We coordinate all process workflows efficiently, keep processes lean and ensure a reliable timetable. This results in actionable contractual documentation and economically viable outcomes – without unnecessary friction.

Advice on tenancy and flat ownership law: termination of tenancy, rent increases, disputes under the German Condominium Act (WEG). We represent landlords, tenants and owners efficiently and in full compliance with the law.

Assertive representation before courts and arbitral tribunals - national and international.

Comprehensive tax law advice: structuring, optimisation and representation in dealings with the tax authorities. We minimise risks and provide legally sound solutions for businesses and private individuals.

Discreet and experienced defence in tax criminal law: voluntary disclosure, investigations, criminal defence. We protect your interests and develop strategic solutions.

Advice on foundation law: setting up, managing and structuring foundations in a legally compliant manner.

Ensure succession is legally sound: We provide sustainable tax and legal support for business transfers.

Protecting your content in copyright and media law: licensing agreements, warning letters, and disputes. We safeguard creative achievements.

In times of increasing competition, we are your reliable partner for effective advice and the enforcement of your interests within the framework of competition: we assist you with, among other things, advice on warning letters, injunctions, and market conduct.

Holistic advice in business law: Contracts, risks and compliance. We support companies strategically and practically.

A particular focus of our law firm lies in advising on time value accounts and the administration and safeguarding of accumulated assets. We support companies in the legally compliant design, implementation, and safeguarding of corresponding models and are available as trustees for the safeguarding of accumulated assets. In doing so, we combine specialised expertise and many years of experience with a high degree of responsibility and protection of trust.

Openness and trust form the basis of our work

Personal and first-class advice

With us, you won't be second best, but in the spotlight. We offer individual advice, think in terms of solutions, and speak your language.

Modern. Digital. Experienced.

We combine modern digital processes with practical experience and expertise: clarity rather than a jumble of paperwork. Tailor-made solutions rather than off-the-shelf ones. Outcomes rather than mere outputs.

Rooted in the local community. Experienced on a global scale.

Down-to-earth expertise meets international competence: We reliably support you on-site whilst also being globally connected when your business requires it.

Process

Our professional initial consultation

In the initial consultation, we take time for your concerns and discuss the next steps together.

01

Understanding concerns

During our initial consultation, we will discuss your objectives, your previous experience and your expectations of a tax consultancy. This ensures that, right from the start, it is clear how we should be assessed and where the focus of our advice should lie.

02

Your current situation in figures

We review your documents, tax structures and level of digitalisation. This enables us to quickly identify where opportunities and risks lie – and where, for example, there are untapped opportunities to streamline structures and reduce your tax burden.

03

Expertise rather than gut feeling

Drawing on our experience and expertise, we work with you to develop several structuring options, each with specific tax implications. You will be able to see, in figures, which options best address your specific needs whilst also aligning with your business or personal planning.

04

A clear plan, clear steps

You can choose the most suitable option from a range of clear and straightforward choices and receive a detailed roadmap for implementation and timing. This means you’ll know exactly what needs to be done and when – and what results you can expect over what timeframe.

05

Accompany, don't just advise.

We support you in implementing your chosen structure in your accounting, contracts and reporting. This transforms concepts into a clear, practical solution that works in day-to-day operations and stands up to tax scrutiny.

06

A team that knows your business.

You will work on an ongoing basis with a dedicated team comprising a case handler, a designated professional and a partner. This ensures that you always have direct points of contact who are familiar with your business, can respond promptly and proactively highlight any changes.

07

Shaping rather than managing.

During regular strategy meetings, we review whether your circumstances or objectives have changed and adjust your tax structure accordingly. This ensures that your tax burden is not left to chance, but is actively managed and optimised on an ongoing basis.
