Nonprofit Organizations in Germany
We advise nonprofit organizations, businesses and the public sector
WINHELLER is well known for its expertise in German nonprofit law and provides strategic legal and tax planning advice to a number of large German nonprofit organizations (NPOs). But our nonprofit attorneys also provide counsel to international NPOs and charities – many of which are based in the U.S. and are seeking to establish a presence in Germany. Our services include advice regarding all aspects of German nonprofit law and German nonprofit tax law, including the founding and management of German charitable Limited Liability Companies (LLC) and tax compliance.
Furthermore, our accountants regularly work with our clients’ finance and bookkeeping departments to ensure that their donation-soliciting activities comply with German law and industry accreditation and certification standards.
We advise holistically
In addition to German nonprofit law and tax law, our nonprofit-specialized attorneys are also experts in
- the law of nonprofit associations,
- the law of foundations, and
- the law of charitable corporations.
And because today’s NPOs do more than collect and distribute donations, we also advise NPO clients on matters related to
- business law,
- employment law,
- real estate law,
- inheritance law,
- corporate law,
- trademark law and
- IT law – both in Germany and internationally.

Whether you are starting from zero, outsourcing activities or transforming an existing NPO, our nonprofit-specialized attorney can help you plan and execute each step of your journey to ensure legal compliance and long term success.
