We offer advice on how to plan and structure your personal and your business projects and save as much taxes as possible. We represent our clients before the German tax authorities and the tax courts.

Lowering your tax obligations is only one area of expertise. We take all facts and circumstances into account and we consider your personal and economic goals to achieve the maximum benefit for your tax and business matters.

Specifically, Winheller Attorneys at Law focus on German/American tax law issues. We offer expert legal advice to American and German clients on the tax laws of both jurisdictions. The tax treaties between the US and Germany in the area of income, estate and gift taxes play an important role in this field. As a matter of course, we take them into consideration when you call on our expertise.
