German
and US Law of Foundations
Since the firm´s formation we have been providing legal
advice to numerous (private) foundations and high-net worth
individuals on all legal issues regarding the German and the
US law of foundations. As your experienced and specialized counsel
on foundations we are delighted to accompany you from the time
of drafting of all required legal documents for setting up a
new foundation up to counsel on all legal and tax issues coming
up in the day-to-day work of managing your foundation. Of course,
we are also dedicated to represent you against the governmental
foundation and tax authorities, if required.
German and US Law of Nonprofit Organizations
An important field of attention Winheller Attorneys at Law focus
on is on legal and tax counsel for nonprofit and charitable
organizations. Since most nonprofit organizations are tax-exempt,
tax law issues play an important role in this regard. Other
fields of law that are of special interest for nonprofit organizations
are, among other things, labor and employment law, sponsorship
and charitable giving issues, and counsel on how to form a nonprofit
organization, which legal form to choose, and how to preserve
the nonprofit status over the course of time.
German and International Entertainment Law
We are highly experienced in the area of German and international
entertainment law and represent our clients, such as companies
in the entertainment industry, artists, sportsmen, and celebrieties
of all sorts, with regards to all legal questions that come
up. We specifically focus on providing legal counsel on the
German and the US music law, film law, theater law, book publishing
law, internet and software law, and fashion law.
German and US Securities Law
Winheller Attorneys at Law advise aggrieved institutional and
high-net worth private investors on how to recover stock price
losses they suffered due to the fraudulent behavior of officers
and directors of publicly traded companies and their auditors.
Together with our cooperating US partner Schiffrin Barroway
Topaz & Kessler, LLP (USA) we inform our clients on how
to actively participate and claim their damages in US securities
class actions without running the risk of bearing any legal
costs.
German and International Business Law
We advise and represent German and international business companies,
nonprofit organizations, high-net worth individuals, artists,
and sportsmen with regards to all legal questions that arise
in the national and international business law arena. Specifically,
we provide counsel in the fields of labor and employment law,
tax law, competition law, copyright and trademark law and general
contract law. Many of our clients come from outside of Germany,
especially from the USA.
