About UBS
We are a young supra-local law firm, represented in Düsseldorf, Cologne and Bielefeld. We enable location-independent consulting of national as well as international clients. We are like you – ambitious. dynamic. digital.
We have set ourselves the goal of providing our clients with holistic tax advice. As a partner of tomorrow, we proactively support digital transformation 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. Thus, we support private individuals, freelancers, tradesmen, corporations and partnerships equally in their tax matters.
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. Thus, in addition to the general ongoing tax advice, we also manage to provide advice on special topics, e.g. in the context of ongoing tax audits or (out-of-court) appeal proceedings, to contribute our know-how in the best possible way. Your added value: ongoing support and the best possible advice when it matters: everything from a single source!
We work in a partner-led and collaborative way: direct access to decision-makers, clear recommendations instead of endless memo loops. Our mandates are focused on efficiency – with digital handovers, automated workflows, and transparent processes.
In our daily work, we deliver reliable ongoing support (accounting, payroll, reporting). When it matters most, we provide advice on special topics – structured, pragmatic, and solution-oriented.
Step by step into digitalization – secure, scalable, measurable.
Dedicated contacts, fast responses, documented decisions.
We connect your systems to ours – efficient, secure, seamless.
Costs, deadlines, progress – always visible and predictable.

Continuing education
Our partners regularly contribute their up-to-date knowledge of tax legislation, case law and administrative opinions in specialist publications and seminars as part of tax training and continuing education.
They give lectures in particular in the field of transformation tax, trade tax and corporate income tax on the one hand, and in the field of turnover tax on the other hand. Our clients benefit not only indirectly from this: our advice is always based on the most up-to-date knowledge.
You can also benefit directly from in-house training, which we offer on a regular basis within the framework of existing mandates, but also separately. A selection of publications as well as upcoming events can be found here.
