Law firm for corporate and company law Stuttgart
Görtz Legal’s core competencies include providing comprehensive advice to medium-sized companies, shareholders and corporate bodies (e.g. shareholders, advisory boards, supervisory boards). Our corporate lawyers have many years of experience in advising small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), their shareholders and managing directors.
Lawyer for the foundation of a company
Already with the establishment of an enterprise greatest care should be put on the choice of the correct enterprise form. German commercial and corporate law offers numerous forms of business (e.g. GbR, OHG, KG, GmbH, GmbH & Co. KG, AG, Limited), all of which have their pros and cons. Together with our commercial lawyers, we advise you in a legally sound and well-founded manner on the choice of the optimal corporate form for you.
Lawyer for articles of association
A good partnership agreement is one that is adapted to your personal structures and is already forward-looking. The memorandum and articles of association should not be limited to a minimum, but should contain provisions for the event of shareholder disputes, the withdrawal of shareholders or inheritance at the time the company is founded.
However, the articles of association should not only protect the interests of the shareholders, but also the existential interests of the company itself, which are sometimes contrary to those of the shareholders. As attorneys at law in companies, we are familiar with the possibilities in corporate law to coordinate and sound out the multi-layered individual interests in the best possible way.
„Ongoing Advice to Lawyers“
A further focus of our activities is the ongoing advice on company law of the company/company and its organs (shareholders‘ meeting, management, advisory board, supervisory board). In addition to drafting contracts, articles of association and minutes of meetings, this also includes advising on shareholder disputes. We at Görtz Legal advise on corporate law in Stuttgart and Karlsruhe, among other things:
Preparation and accompaniment of shareholders‘ meetings
Appointment and dismissal of the management/managing directors
Representation of interests in shareholder disputes
action for rescissory action against shareholder resolutions

Our attorneys specializing in corporate law and company law have many years of experience in shareholder disputes.
