Due Diligence

Interdisciplinary and tailor-made to your project

To ensure sound decisions in a project or company transaction, we identify and evaluate aspects relevant to economic, legaland tax law as part of a due diligence. We provide our clients with overall due diligence from a single source, without any interfaces. In addition to the in-depth examination, our work always focuses on possible solutions. After detailed analysis, we submit these concrete approaches as part of the transaction and implement them in the contract documentation. And we do this in Germany and France.
