Seibert – Recht & Steuern advises and represents domestic and international commercial enterprises of all sizes (with a focus on upper mid-sized companies), as well as credit and financial services institutions. Our legal counsel covers national and international corporate, commercial, contract, labor, and tax law, with specialized expertise in banking and capital markets law.

We also advise freelance professionals and high-net-worth individuals, taking into account their specific needs. Typical mandates include long-term support in matters of succession and inheritance, as well as tax structuring.

Commercial Enterprises

With over three decades of experience advising businesses located in or connected to Baden-Württemberg, we have developed particular expertise in the automotive supply, mechanical engineering, and information technology industries. We understand these businesses and their markets, and we support them throughout their entire corporate lifecycle – from formation to sale or liquidation – in all matters of commercial, corporate, labor, contract, and tax law.

Family-Owned Businesses and Their Owners

Entrepreneurial families are uniquely affected by the interplay of business, wealth, and family – especially regarding succession planning, both at the corporate and private levels. We provide comprehensive legal and tax advice, tailored to your personal and professional priorities. 

Credit and Financial Services Institutions

No other area of law has grown in scope and complexity over the past three decades like banking and capital markets law. For more than 30 years, we have provided specialized legal advice and representation – both in and out of court – to credit and financial services institutions (including independent intermediaries), investment vehicles (open- and closed-end AIFs, UCITS, and retail investment funds), as well as commercial enterprises and family offices across all aspects of banking and capital markets regulation.

Freelance professionals

Freelance professionals – whether physicians and dentists or auditors, tax advisors, and attorneys – have distinct legal and tax advisory needs, partly due to their regulatory frameworks. For decades, we have specialized in advising medical professionals on the formation, restructuring, and dissolution of group practices, and we advise auditors, tax consultants, and lawyers on partnership and liability matters. Common to all freelance professionals are specific challenges in tax and succession planning – areas in which we offer tailored solutions.

Executive Directors, Managing Directors, and Senior Executives

Special employment and service relationships require tailored legal advice with deep expertise in employment, social security, and tax law. We provide counsel on social security status determinations, liability issues under corporate law, D&O insurance, and all legal questions related to executive roles and service agreements.

High-Net-Worth Individuals

High-net-worth individuals also face specific advisory needs – arising from business interests or complex personal and family matters. We offer specialized legal and tax advice on issues such as real estate and business acquisitions, gifts and inheritances, succession planning, marriage, adoption, and other fundamental life transitions.
