Riehl & Riehl Available

Riehl & Riehl tackles the structural problems that emerge when commercial enterprise, succession planning, and statutory compliance cross lines between civil law and tax codes. Operating from Am Ruschelberg 20 in Neustadt (Hessen)—a location with more than four decades of continuous professional practice rooted in the work of Steuerberater Karl-Georg Riehl—the partnership addresses friction points where legal drafting and fiscal accounting collide. Typical scenarios involve corporate restructurings, business successions, real estate transactions, and employment disputes, where an isolated legal strategy risks triggering unexpected tax liabilities, or where tax shelter planning lacks legal enforceability.

The firm resolves these friction points by placing Rechtsanwalt and Fachanwalt für Steuerrecht Michael Riehl alongside Diplom-Volkswirt and Steuerberater Johannes H. Riehl at the same conference table. In a business acquisition or corporate restructuring, for example, the team examines balance sheets, articles of association, and commercial registry documents concurrently rather than sequentially. This dual perspective prevents the administrative delay of shuttling documentation between disconnected outside legal counsel and local tax accountants. Case files involving employment contracts, dismissals, or inheritance distributions are audited simultaneously for legal enforceability, social security regulations, and gift or inheritance tax consequences.

When contractual disputes arise or complex property agreements must be drawn up, the team evaluates legal rights and balance-sheet impact together. For real estate transfers or company sales, drafting shareholder resolutions and purchase contracts goes hand in hand with assessing real estate transfer taxes and capital gains liabilities. Where statutory notarial deeds are mandatory under German commercial and property law, the firm coordinates directly with established notarial partners, delivering fully vetted transaction drafts that satisfy both civil court verification standards and municipal fiscal authorities.

For time-critical matters, such as tax authority assessment deadlines, corporate filings, or statutory labor law response windows (such as filing an unfair dismissal claim within the strict three-week legal period), the firm deploys expedited document reviews. To facilitate an efficient intake and avoid procedural delays, clients should compile organized primary documentation ahead of the initial consultation, including recent tax assessments, current financial statements, existing partnership or employment contracts, and all formal correspondence received from opposing parties or government agencies.
