Certified specialist in German tax law in Berlin and Munich

When a tax question calls for a legal decision

A tax assessment, a business change or a dispute over the tax treatment of a transaction can have far-reaching consequences. We therefore start by identifying the decision required and any running deadlines. On this basis, I review the documents and discuss the next steps with you.

As a certified specialist in German tax law, I combine legal assessment with experience from day-to-day tax advisory work. As managing director of several tax advisory firms, I also understand the practical requirements of implementation.

How I can help

• Tax planning and structuring: assessing the legal and tax implications of a venture and weighing up structuring options.
• Disputes with the tax authorities: reviewing assessments and facts, preparing arguments and representing you in objection proceedings.
• Tax court proceedings: discussing the prospects, effort and risks of court proceedings and representing you before the tax courts and the Federal Fiscal Court.
• Tax criminal proceedings: considering the tax and criminal law questions together. Find out more on the page Representation in tax criminal law.

How advice begins

1. Briefly describe the matter and tell me whether you have already received an assessment, request or deadline.
2. We clarify the scope of advice, the documents needed and the fees.
3. I assess the initial situation and explain your options, risks and my recommendation.

Which documents are helpful for the first appointment?

In a dispute with the tax authorities, the assessment concerned, the date it was received, previous correspondence and any objections already filed are particularly useful. For planned arrangements, draft contracts, details of the participants and a description of the financial objective are also helpful. We agree on the documents actually required for your matter.

Do you also advise individuals?

Yes. As well as businesses, partners and shareholders, I advise individuals. This may include questions about investment income from abroad or income from rentals through platforms . Older articles are marked as archived; we assess your current situation separately.
