Bio

Georg Seyfarth has a general corporate practice with a focus on boardroom matters of publicly listed companies and other corporations. In recent years he has put particular emphasis on advising board members about their duties in various special situations and on advising supervisory boards. Georg advises his clients with regard to publicly known transactions and corporate matters (reorganizations, M&A, legal opinions on duties of governing bodies). Clients also frequently seek his advice on highly confidential and sensitive background matters (employment issues of board members, compliance issues, liability questions, D&O insurances). A second focus of Georg`s work is advising and assisting family-owned companies and entrepreneurs who shape an owner-managed business. In addition to advising clients on corporate law, his main goal is to be able to listen well and, on this basis, to provide clear orientation to his discussion partners. This applies not least to matters that have their origin in a conflict situation or even disputes. Third, Georg has increasingly litigated and participated in arbitration proceedings in recent years.
