Kantenwein Zimmermann Spatscheck & Partner

The firm:

Kantenwein (www.kantenwein.de/en/) is a multidisciplinary firm consisting of lawyers, tax consultants and auditors. The 18 partners are supported by a strong team and they all have many years’ experience, accumulated with major law firms. Our work is based on the principle of the independence of the partners and their responsibility for both content and outcome. We are always available to consult with our clients, whatever the assignment. We either resolve the problem ourselves or we will engage other specialists from our network of approved collaborators, as and when required. So on the one hand the client always has the necessary expertise available and on the other hand the task set is efficiently dealt with. We are regularly consulted by major law firms in case of a conflict of interest and on occasions when supplementary or specific expert advice is sought.

Key activities: In addition to multidisciplinary business law consultancy, the work of the firm focuses in particular on such areas as:

• national and international tax law, including consolidated tax law (Kirsten Fox, Dr. Gerhard Widmayer, Dr. Annett Kuhli-Spatscheck, Sven Ceranowski);
• criminal tax law, commercial criminal law and tax disputes (Dr. Rainer Spatscheck);
• commercial dispute resolution (Dr. Thomas Kantenwein, Marcus van Bevern, Dr. Annett Kuhli-Spatscheck, Dr. Stefan Hackel);
• banking (Marcus van Bevern);
• auditing (Franz Zimmermann, Dr. Thomas Kantenwein) and
• commercial and corporate law (Dr. Stefan Hackel).

Clients: The firm’s clients include national and international retail groups, banks, companies in the energy and automotive sectors, german SMEs and wealthy private individuals. We regularly act as a reliable contact for major corporations and their clients in cases of a conflict of interest. Our partners work as arbitrators and representatives of parties in national and international arbitration procedures.
