Legal advice from PLANARIS
From contract drafting to conflict resolution: we think ahead legally - comprehensible, structured, at eye level.
In practice, legal issues are rarely isolated - they affect companies, families and private individuals alike. Our legal advice is provided by PLANARIS Legal and covers the entire spectrum: from corporate and tax law to inheritance law and, in particular, succession planning through to labour and family law.
Legal issues are rarely isolated. We combine legal precision with an economic perspective. This results in solutions that are sustainable and make the difference.
Corporate & tax law
Shaping structures, securing the future.
The organisation of corporate structures and tax conditions is complex - and crucial for the long-term success of a company. We support companies and entrepreneurs in all matters relating to formation, restructuring and succession.
We advise you on:
Transaction & contract advice
Family pool and dependant contracts
Company & share transfers
Inheritance and gift tax law incl. international cases
Succession planning
Combining foresight with a sure instinct.
Successful succession requires foresight, sensitivity and the legally compliant drafting of all agreements. We combine tax, company law and family aspects and develop solutions that are viable for all parties involved.
We support you in:
Mandatory portion regulations, living wills
Anticipated succession (private & corporate)
Company succession including corporate and family law issues
Foundation and usufruct models
Inheritance law / Inheritance case
Creating clarity, securing interests.
When an inheritance occurs, it often involves complex legal and emotional issues. We ensure transparency, represent your interests and reliably guide you through proceedings and disputes.
We accompany you with:
Enforcement or defence of compulsory portion claims
Waiver & certificate of inheritance proceedings
Execution of wills & estate settlement
Labour law
Drafting contracts, resolving conflicts.
Labour law affects employers and employees alike. We draft legally compliant contracts, provide support in the event of conflicts and accompany change processes in companies - in a practical and solution-orientated manner.
We advise you on:
Status determination procedure
Dismissals, warnings, cancellation agreements
Company pension scheme
Family law
Legal clarity in personal matters.
