Starting your own business requires more than an innovative idea – it calls for a solid legal, financial, and strategic foundation.  Start-ups and newly founded companies face a wide range of challenges, from choosing the right legal form and negotiating contracts to mitigating liability risks. Inadequate planning can result in legal and financial pitfalls and endanger long-term success. 

Common challenges for founders include: 

  • Choosing the appropriate legal form, taking liability and tax optimisation into account 
  • Drafting watertight employment and cooperation agreements 
  • Negotiating with investors, banks, and business partners 
  • Protecting intellectual property and implementing compliance guidelines for start-ups 
  • Minimising liability risks and scaling the business strategically
