Good ideas need a breeding ground. You have a great new business idea or have already founded your company – then every day is a new challenge. We want to be your partner – regarding know-how and to advise you and your new enterprise in all legal matters of entrepreneurship as well as financially. We will help you at every point, from Seed Financing up to the complete maturity of your company. We won´t accompany the development of the company as a consultant who gives good tips from the side line, but as a partner who is on the field with you and exclusively focuses on the company´s success. Owing to our contract design we are dynamically aligned with your company, your needs and your performance. We and our network will also gladly invest in promising business ideas and will share the risk with you as partners.
It is the common objective of all Weisenheimer Legal partners to comprehensively advise their clients both with their legal special knowledge as well as their long-term professional expertise, which was gained both in large national and international law firms as well as in companies.
In combination with our lean company structure this enables a personalised client service with a strong entrepreneurial awareness. Every partner is an entrepreneur him or herself, familiar with the daily challenges of founding a company and entrepreneurship in general.
We understand your needs and your entrepreneurial considerations. Especially when it comes to the cooperation with lawyers´ offices. Here, too, our cooperation is based on a strong partnership with our clients and we also offer innovative solutions in order to perfectly support your company. This applies both to national companies as well as clients who operate internationally.
We understand and speak a clear language. Due to many years of experience in the financing sector, we have best contacts with financing partners who suit you optimally and can also offer the according network.
You have built up and established your company over a long period of time and now want to ensure that there is an orderly transition. With our experience and our network, we will help you starting from the search for a suitable successor up to the succession of your company and will thereby achieve a fruitful win-win situation for both you and the successor.
Within our Weisenheimer network, we also like to include specialist support in order to holistically simplify all aspects of the business succession.
We are committed to deliver high-quality legal advice.
But for us, this is not enough. Because legal advice that does not also involve the people who are subject to, invoke or exercise the law may often cause more harm than good.
Many instructions lawyers receive from clients only supposedly lead them in the right direction. Regardless of whether the clients are individuals, companies or entire groups.
This is why we – if requested – advise and coach our clients by using the Law 2.0. method. By considering the fears, wishes, needs, thought patterns and other parts of the personality of our clients and other persons involved in performing our legal advice, in drafting legal documents, in transactions and also in litigation.
With results that go beyond coping with problems or avoiding risks. But instead deliver value by identifying and enhancing potentials. Of companies, but also individual persons involved.
We support numerous companies in the form of an outsourced legal department. Especially SMEs, where the need for legal support is ever increasing due to the growing number of regulations, for which however an in-house legal department is too much effort, this enables tailor-made solutions. Thereby the company has the great advantage of being able to fall back upon a whole team of experienced lawyers, who are familiar with the company-specific demands. With that, also small or medium-sized companies can cover their entire demand for legal counselling, without having to establish their own legal department with several special legal experts. Such an agreement offers optimum cost control with an optimum expertise level.
