Corporate Law, Capital Market Law

We advise publicly listed and private companies on preparing and conducting their general and shareholder meetings, on industrial group company matters, e.g. mergers, spin-offs and hive-downs, conversions of legal form (e.g. into a European stock corporation, SE) and on all corporate advisory matters related to the management boards, managing directors, supervisory and administrative boards (corporate governance).

A further core area is advice on public takeovers with subsequent corporate measures (taking private), e.g. domination and profit and loss transfer agreements or squeeze-outs.

P+P lawyers also represent companies, shareholders, members of management boards, managing directors, members of supervisory and administrative boards in all kinds of corporate litigation, e.g. contestation- and voidance lawsuits against resolutions of general and shareholder meetings, release proceedings and appraisal proceedings as well as claims for damages against members of corporate bodies.

We also prepare opinions on corporate law matters and comprehensively advise companies on compliance issues.
