Strategic legal counsel in corporate law and M&A transactions—from incorporation through due diligence to closing.
Alexander Breidenstein advises companies, shareholders, and investors across the full spectrum of corporate law and legal transaction advisory services—from company and joint venture formations to complex M&A processes and corporate restructurings—always in a structured, solution-oriented manner and with a focus on what truly matters.
Dear Alexander, what does our promise, “To make it simple, but significant,” mean to you?
To put it simply, yet meaningfully—transactions and corporate structures are often multifaceted. My goal is to break down complexity, resolve uncertainties, and deliver clear, viable solutions—legally sound and strategically sound.
What really matters in legal counseling.
Clarity, foresight, and a focus on results—these three principles form the foundation of effective legal counsel. They ensure that our clients are not only legally protected but also remain capable of taking action at all times and can consistently achieve their goals.
Providing clarity – presenting information in an understandable way to inform decision-making
Identifying Risks – Proactive Analysis to Strengthen Your Negotiating Position
Delivering results – efficient implementation with legally and economically sound solutions
Are you buying or selling a business? I’ll guide you through the process from the initial analysis to a successful closing—with legal certainty and strategic insight.
Do you need clarity before entering into a transaction? I identify risks early on and provide you with a solid basis for decision-making.
Are you setting up a joint venture? I’ll make sure your interests are clearly protected from the very beginning.
A statement from Alexander Breidenstein:
Every time is a milestone: when we have achieved our clients’ goals and made a tangible contribution to their success or helped avert harm.
