Customised advice for discerning clients

Dissmann Orth is a Munich-based boutique law firm whose formidable team of experts in their fields has been focusing on providing business law and tax advice to discerning clients for 50 years. Due to the dual qualification of most of our professionals as lawyers and tax advisors, we are able to offer our clients comprehensive advice that reconciles legal and tax ramifications.

Our clients include businesses, their owners and their families, family offices, founders, funds and investors of all kinds. We frequently assist our clients through important strategic issues over the years, often for decades. Furthermore, we act on advisory or supervisory boards and as executors of our clients’ estates. In addition, we support other advisors as regards complex corporate and tax law issues. Many of our matters have a cross-border or international context. Our independence from a binding international network enables us to work with the best-qualified foreign advisors in each case at hand.
