Business – Transactions, Growth & Ongoing Advice
Every day, companies are faced with decisions that have legal, commercial, and personal implications. We advise entrepreneurs, companies, and investors on corporate structuring, growth, financing, transactions, reorganisations and restructurings. We do not view legal issues in isolation, but in the broader context of strategy, risk, financing, tax, ownership structures and implementation.
Leadership – Responsibility, Liability & Compliance
For businesses and individuals, including managing directors, management board members and owners facing heightened risks and duties of care. Running a business entails responsibility towards shareholders, employees, contractual partners and public authorities, often extending to personal liability. Managing directors, management board members, supervisory board members and shareholders must make decisions that are legally sound and commercially justifiable.
We advise executives and corporate officers on their rights, duties, liability risks and available courses of action. Our aim is to support sound decision-making through clear structures, transparent processes and practical legal advice.
Disputes – Litigation, Crisis & Restructuring
Conflicts and economic crises require a clear legal and strategic framework. We represent companies, shareholders, managing directors, creditors, and private individuals in disputes, handle litigation and arbitration proceedings, and develop solutions for corporate crises. This includes out-of-court restructurings, reorganization and insolvency proceedings, as well as court-appointed insolvency and reorganization administrations. Our focus lies on economically effective solutions and the consistent protection of the interests of our clients.
Wealth – Real Estate, Succession & Structuring
Wealth requires a sound legal structure. This applies to real estate, company shares, investments, family wealth and succession arrangements. Substantial assets call for more than individual contracts: they require long-term security, coordinated tax and legal planning, protection against disputes and clear arrangements for the next generation.
We advise on real estate projects, wealth structuring, succession, family companies, private foundations and asset management companies. Our focus lies on viable solutions which are economically sound, legally practical, and sustainable in the long term.
Start-ups & Incorporation – Ideas, Equity & Growth
Turning an idea into a business requires more than a company agreement. Founders need clear structures, fair equity arrangements, understandable contracts and a legal foundation which supports growth, investment and future funding rounds.
We advise start-ups, founders, investors and young businesses from initial structuring throughout funding rounds, equity participation, employee participation schemes and scaling. We combine legal experience with commercial understanding and a clear focus on capital, growth and investment readiness.
Do you have questions? We have answers.
Why LIKAR?
We do not view legal advice as a means to an end. Good legal advice should provide clarity to facilitate decision-making and ensure that solutions are sustainable. To achieve this, we listen carefully, analyze the legal and economic situation, openly identify risks, and work with our clients to determine the next logical step. We provide personalized, dedicated advice with a commitment to making complex issues understandable and actionable. Our strength lies in combining legal precision, entrepreneurial thinking and consistent representation. Whether it’s a transaction, a dispute, a startup, a crisis, succession planning, or ongoing counsel: We take responsibility for the legal aspects of your decisions and support you through the implementation process — all while exclusively representing your interests.
