Dr. Adam Dampc
German lawyer · Entrepreneur
Mannheim, Germany
Start a company. Restructure it. Negotiate the next deal.
One lawyer who sees the legal, tax and commercial picture together.
Personal counsel. Advice in English.
01 / The whole business
Not just the document in front of youA company structure shapes more than ownership. A contract settles more than wording.
Who makes the decisions? How will profits be used? What changes when a partner joins, the business grows or you sell?
I advise founders, owner-managed companies and international businesses in Germany at these intersections. Corporate law, tax and your commercial plans belong in the same conversation.
02 / Scope of advice
The right starting point depends on where your business is now, and where you want to take it.
A GmbH, UG, partnership or holding structure? I assess the legal and tax considerations, draft the shareholder arrangements and support the steps through incorporation.
Legal-form choice · Shareholder agreements · Notary coordination
When the original structure no longer fits, I advise on changes of legal form, mergers, divisions and contributions of business assets, with the tax implications considered alongside them.
Corporate reorganisations · Holding structures · Transformation tax law
Agreements should reflect how you actually do business. I draft, review and negotiate contracts, from confidentiality and trading terms to managing director service agreements.
NDAs · B2B & B2C terms · Managing director contracts
I advise buyers and sellers on company transactions, including due diligence and share purchase agreements. The work connects the proposed deal with the obligations in the contract.
M&A · Due diligence support · Warranties & transaction terms
03 / Where the conversation starts
Illustrative situations, not reported client casesThese are examples of the questions a corporate mandate can begin with, not accounts of completed client work.
Starting in Germany
You are establishing a German business and need to connect the choice of legal form with ownership, contracts and tax considerations.
An owner’s next chapter
You want to explore a GmbH or holding structure, bring in another shareholder, or reorganise activities that no longer belong together.
A transaction ahead
You are preparing to buy or sell a company and need advice on the documents, the due diligence questions and the allocation of risk.
04 / One connected perspective
A restructuring is not only a corporate filing. A holding is not only a tax question. The useful advice is the advice that connects both to your plans.
I bring corporate and tax advice together, so you can discuss the trade-offs with one point of contact rather than assemble the picture yourself.
05 / Your lawyer
Personal counsel, not a departmentI’m Dr. Adam Dampc, a Rechtsanwalt and entrepreneur in Mannheim. I advise business owners as someone who runs a business himself.
My experience includes restructuring work at Linklaters. Today, I bring that experience to a personal practice, alongside my work as a research associate at Heidelberg University.
You speak directly with me about the company, the decision in front of you and what comes after it.
06 / Working together
A clear starting pointTell me what you are planning, who is involved and whether a deadline is approaching. An initial consultation is the starting point.
We discuss the legal and tax questions, the documents involved and the scope and fees for any further work.
Depending on the agreed scope, the work may involve drafting, reviewing, negotiating or coordinating the next formal steps. I remain your direct point of contact.
Predictable fees, not a running mystery.
My preference is a defined scope and fixed-fee arrangements where suitable. The scope and fee depend on the mandate.
