In contrast to the clients of large international law firms, for whom a high degree of specialization is required, medium-sized companies in Germany and entrepreneurs are often dealing with issues that cannot be solved with specialist knowledge alone. Rather, the entrepreneur's business and private spheres are complexly interwoven, which is why a holistic view from different perspectives is necessary. Real lateral thinking is required here!
Example:
In the case of a business split, private real estate serves the company. In the case of a sale or succession planning, issues relating to company law, inheritance law, income tax and inheritance tax must be solved holistically.
3Q|Law has gained a wide range of legal and tax experience in many years of legal work in numerous projects in Hamburg, Northern Germany, but also nationally in Germany and internationally, both in the corporate sector and in the planning and legal implementation of the private sector with entrepreneurs. Thus, legal and fiscal opportunities and risks can be uncovered at an early stage and an optimal solution can be found with high quality.
The tax advisor of German medium-sized entrepreneurs or wealthy private individuals is often the closest confidant "in all situations". This often results in the necessity to professionally accompany the client with regard to numerous entrepreneurial issues, but above all also with regard to his private financial circumstances.

3Q|Law not only legally advises clients in Hamburg and Northern Germany, but also nationally in Germany and internationally in the field of M&A (sale of companies). Many years of experience in major international law firms such as Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer and Latham & Watkins provide a good basis for drafting German contracts and conducting negotiations in the English language.
In larger, international as well as in German medium-sized law firms, personnel bottlenecks or gaps in special fields may arise. In these cases, 3Q|Law can flexibly step in "on the job" as a 'German lawyer on demand' and contribute to the success of the project with its many years of experience in complex M&A projects, German real estate transactions or corporate successions.
The management of both large corporations and medium-sized companies in Germany is not aware of the personal liability risks as managing directors, executive board members or even supervisory board members in Germany. German legislation and case law have made the scope of obligations extremely broad, so that entrepreneurial decisions are always burdened with the risk of personal liability. This applies in particular to corporate acquisitions and sales in Germany, but also to real estate transactions in Germany or other decisions with major implications. Here, the volumes usually exceed the coverage amounts of D&O insurances or the insurer evades the obligation to pay on the basis of various arguments.
In order to safeguard personal assets, the German managing director, executive board or supervisory board should not wait "until the baby has dropped in the well", but should actively take measures at the corporate level, but above all also at the private level, to safeguard his core assets against attacks.
3Q|Law not only legally advises clients in Hamburg and Northern Germany, but also internationally, especially in the area of M&A (sale or purchase of companies). The preparation of contract documentation as well as the conduct of negotiations in English are essential for this.
