Tax Law Representation for Private Individuals

We also regularly support private individuals in tax disputes. These often arise for private individuals in connection with international matters – for example in connection with moving to Germany, relocation abroad, shareholding status, or succession planning.

Tax Dispute: Objection, Court, and Appeal Proceedings

With the experience of a former tax judge and a former head of department at the Oberfinanzdirektion Karlsruhe, attorney and tax advisor Martin Riegel and attorney Dr. Nikolaus Raub also represent private individuals in objection, court, and appeal proceedings.

Tax Criminal Law Support

Particularly in international matters – for example, in connection with failures to report foreign accounts, notification of moves to Germany, or exit taxation – an additional criminal law risk can emerge alongside the tax risk, up to the question of a voluntary disclosure under § 371 AO. In these cases, the expertise of attorney and tax advisor Dr. Knud Bergmann-Weidenbach, with over 30 years of experience in tax criminal law, flows into your consultation without requiring you to change your contact person.

Wealth Succession: Tax and Inheritance Law Advice

For succession matters, we support you in forward-looking structuring of your wealth succession. The goal is regularly to structure the transfer in such a way that the tax burden and – if desired – also mandatory share and supplementary mandatory share claims are limited in amount to the extent possible. This includes inheritance and gift tax structuring as well as accompanying inheritance law advice, such as in the drafting of testamentary provisions. In the area of succession planning, Martin Riegel also draws on his long-standing experience from succession consulting at one of the major internationally active accounting firms.
