In many cases, a visit to the notary is unavoidable, whether for the formation of a company or for the transfer or liquidation of a company. Especially if it is a general partnership (oHG), limited partnership (KG), limited liability company (GmbH) or a public limited company (AG).

The notary drafts the necessary contracts and makes the corresponding registrations in the commercial register.

Entrepreneurs in particular should think about their succession and, as part of their company succession planning, check whether the company law provisions are in line with the inheritance law or testamentary provisions or whether there is a need for action.

Appropriate precautions must be taken to ensure that the entrepreneur's ability to act is not jeopardized. It is a good idea to set up a general or health care proxy for a trusted person in an emergency.

It is advisable to work closely with legal and tax advisors on many corporate law matters.
