FAQ

What is the difference between a German attorney and a notary when forming a GmbH?

The attorney designs the strategy and content — corporate structure, articles of association and shareholder agreement — and represents the client. The notary performs the legally required notarisation and is bound to neutrality.

How much does attorney-drafted contract work cost?

Costs depend on scope, complexity and economic significance. Fees are typically billed on an hourly or fixed-fee basis and agreed in writing before engagement.

How does an M&A transaction work legally?

An M&A transaction usually comprises a letter of intent, due diligence, negotiation and signing of the purchase agreement, followed by closing. Attorney support secures the contractual structure, warranties, indemnities and any regulatory approvals.

What is attorney-led receivables management?

It comprises structured pre-litigation demand letters, the German court-supervised dunning procedure and, where necessary, court action and enforcement. The full process is handled via the digital client portal mahnung.stelzhammer.legal.

When do I need an attorney for contract negotiations?

For economically significant, long-term or legally complex contracts — cooperations, M&A, supply relationships and cross-border matters — early attorney involvement helps identify risks and preserve negotiating leverage.
