Monthly briefing (in German) · Rückblick September 2026 · Ausgabe 9

Monatsbrief Oktober 2026

Wer eine Unternehmensübertragung plant, sollte die kommenden Wochen im Blick behalten. Zugleich zeigt der BGH, dass Insolvenzpläne auch bei Mängeln im Forderungseinzug Bestand haben.

As a German lawyer and certified tax adviser (Rechtsanwalt und Steuerberater), Norbert Schröer combines both perspectives in one person; in inheritance matters he works closely with lawyer Adina-Julia Schröer.
