About UBS

Who we are

We are Timo, Sven, Axel and Kai and, together with our colleagues, we form a young interregional law firm with offices in Düsseldorf, Cologne and Bielefeld. We met more than 10 years ago at a Big 4 consultancy, have never lost sight of each other and have been pursuing the common goal of wanting to do “something different” ever since.

We want to bring “New Work” to tax consultancy and dispel prejudices. With us, you can come as you like and be who you are. Without a suit or tie. But with start-up benefits and clients at eye level.

We are like you – ambitious. dynamic. digital.

We have made it our goal to provide our clients with comprehensive tax advice and to share the experience we have gained in consulting and business and make it available to everyone. As a partner of tomorrow, we provide proactive support on tax issues and work together to find the best possible solutions that are in line with your values and ours.

Together we have a suitable and tailor-made solution to almost every tax problem. In particular, we support corporations and partnerships in their tax affairs.

Together, we bring over 40 years of tax consulting experience to the table. Our employees and partners have learned their “tools of the trade” in renowned law firms such as Flick Gocke Schaumburg, Deloitte, Ecovis or Grant Thornton and have also deepened their knowledge and skills in the tax departments of global corporations.

Thus, in addition to the general ongoing tax advice, we also manage to provide advice on special topics, e.g. to make the best possible use of our know-how in ongoing tax audits or (judicial) appeal proceedings. Your added value: ongoing support and the best possible advice when it matters: everything from a single source!

"We want to combine specialist technical knowledge with the human element and thus create added value for our clients:
In ongoing client support as well as in individual tax issues."

Anyone who knows me knows that tax law is my passion! When I am not advising young growth companies and medium-sized corporate clients on restructuring, financing issues or corporate succession, I am on the road as a lecturer in tax consultant training and continuing education. I also regularly write tax-related articles for specialist journals.
