“I create legal clarity and legally compliant implementation for complex corporate decisions and structures.”
“I have been advising companies, shareholders and groups on key issues of corporate and commercial law for over 30 years. My focus is on transactions, restructuring and succession solutions. As a lawyer, notary and arbitrator, I bring experience, strategic thinking and a clear view of the players involved.”
Dear Ulrich, what does our promise “To make it simple, but significant” mean to you?
“To make it simple, but significant – for me, this is the core of good legal work as a lawyer and notary: grasping complex issues, focusing on the essentials and creating legal comfort for my clients. With experience, a clear mind, a feel for people and a sense of humor, I offer my clients security and comfort – even in difficult situations.”

A personal statement from dr. irriger
“Legal and notarial work is not an end in itself. It must be effective – to the point: for people in life and in business.”
Successful advice, structuring and representation of interests in the areas of corporate, M&A, commercial, real estate, succession
I provide legal and notarial advice on corporate structures, transactions and succession solutions – legally and economically well thought out and with the necessary degree of humor and human sensitivity for the concerns of my clients.
I support, advise and organize start-ups, restructurings and shareholder conflicts – with legal certainty and a well thought-out strategy.
I structure M&A processes and investments with a clear view of risks and economic objectives.
I develop individual succession solutions – entrepreneurially sensible, legally sound and humanly appropriate.
