Lars Bode | Legal Consulting | Tax Consulting

One-stop analysis, consulting and representation

Thank you for your interest in my website and welcome to my pages! I have been advising and representing companies, entrepreneurs and private individuals for more than two decades, in particular in commercial and tax law matters, offering one-stop legal and tax advice.

CORPORATE LAW

Comprehensive

I provide comprehensive advice and representation services in corporate law matters, taking into account the tax requirements and consequences of individual measures. From advice and support when forming a company, to solving issues during the company's life cycle, including support when purchasing or selling company shares, to the termination of the company by way of liquidation, you can count on my support based on corresponding expertise and many years of experience.

TAX LAW

Solution-Based

Based on many years of experience, I support you in a solution-based and forward-looking manner when dealing with tax law problems or issues. My consulting spectrum extends from income taxes to real estate transfer tax, VAT, sales tax and transformation or reorganization tax issues to international tax law matters taking into account existing double taxation treaties. I also represent clients in proceedings before the tax authorities and tax courts and prepare tax returns in individual cases.

REAL ESTATE LAW

Interest-Based

If you have questions about renting or leasing, buying or selling residential or commercial property, I can help you draw up or review the necessary agreements and negotiate the terms of the contract with the aim of reaching solutions that meet your interests. I also draft or review transaction for the division of houses into independent apartments and represent you at owners' meetings if necessary. In individual cases, I also deal with questions of private or public building law and real estate agent law.

TAX CRIMINAL LAW AND LIABILITY FOR TAXES

Protective

In criminal tax investigations and criminal proceedings, based on my many years of experience in tax law, I strive to protect your interests by defending you in a way that is geared towards avoiding charges and sanctions as far as possible and aims to end the proceedings at the investigation stage. As a result of criminal tax investigations, those affected are often confronted with liability claims. In cases of liability, whether in connection with investigations or outside of such a situation, I try to avert liability as far as possible by carefully examining the facts of the case in conjunction with the sometimes quite complex legal requirements.

COMMERCIAL AND FOREIGN TRADE LAW

Anticipatory

I provide you with anticipatory support in the contractual structuring of your commercial transactions, such as commercial sales, commission or freight business activities, as well as in enforcing your rights arising from such transactions. I also deal with questions of commercial agency law. It is important to keep in mind that commercial law in the EU is largely harmonized by directives that must be observed. Foreign trade law, in which I mainly deal with customs law, is also heavily influenced by EU law. Internationally, I also deal with the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, on which I conducted legal proceedings in the past.

FINANCIAL AND PAYROLL ACCOUNTING

Precise

As part of my one-stop consulting services, I am also available to help you organize your financial and payroll accounting effectively using modern systems, including precise compliance with reporting obligations to shareholders, tax offices and other authorities. This also includes advice on questions relating to the exercise of accounting options from a tax and commercial law perspective. I also use the understanding of financial accounting principles that is essential for tax advice and representation tailored to your interests to develop solutions in cases of company acquisitions and - also cross-border - company conversions.
