Before a solution is implemented, it must first be the right one.

As a trusted advisor, SCHACHNER accompanies his clients precisely in these moments. In doing so, he combines his dual qualification as a lawyer and tax consultant with outstanding leadership skills, experience and his own special approach.
This makes him a valued associate, a peer on equal footing. With tact, respect and empathy, SCHACHNER creates the space in which even difficult topics can be openly addressed. He structures complex situations, develops viable options together with his clients, and gives clear recommendations.
With SCHACHNER’s guidance, big-picture solutions emerge; there’s always a way forward, even in apparently no-win situations. For clients, that’s calming and reassuring; it creates latitude, provides safeguards and long-term security.
SCHACHNER's services as a trusted advisor - with a focus on corporate and tax law matters
- Guidance and sparring for company directors in a new role – following a business takeover or as part of succession
- Strategic preparation for decisive negotiations and difficult conversations
- Second opinion where legal or tax representation is already in place, particularly for decisions with far-reaching consequences
- Strategic support behind the scenes, when clients handle a dispute themselves
- Guidance for owners considering a generational change – before deciding on specific structures

Where this leads to concrete legal or tax steps, SCHACHNER seamlessly supports their implementation as well.
The ability to understand or find out what clients really want is, in my opinion, the most important skill for a HNWI lawyer. Gerald Schachner can’t be beaten at that.
