Lawyers for contingency planning

Proactive planning helps to ensure that your family or family-owned business has legal capacity at all times. Our lawyers for contingency planning assist you in this regard, e.g. by drawing up an emergency planning checklist that covers all the key legal and financial aspects.

Important contingency planning issues for business owners and partners/shareholders in their private lives include a general power of attorney, enduring power of attorney for care or healthcare, a living will and their final will. When drafting all these documents, our lawyers for contingency planning draw on their experience of the needs of family-owned businesses and private clients to assist you in a sensitive and tailored manner.

We also look at scenarios where some assets are located outside Germany or family members live abroad. Together with private wealth experts from across the international CMS organisation, our German lawyers for contingency planning will take into account the legal provisions of each country. 

Do you have any questions or need assistance? Our lawyers for contingency planning will be happy to help. Their contact details are listed below.
