Welcome to
Sonntag Partner.
The following provides an overview of our firm — a one-stop shop with
a dynamic team of experts and core competencies in all things tax, legal,
accounting, and private asset management. No matter the complexity.
You need
real advice on
real matters?
Then look
no farther.
We deliver Personal, professional Our advice and services are as multifaceted as
your matters are. We handle everything from routine to major
corporate matters, while maintaining firm roots in the region.
This translates into one simple fact: we work across practices
to get you the advice and services when and where you need
them; it does not matter who you are: from mid-size to large
international businesses to professional partnerships of all kinds
and beyond to individuals managing their own assets.
Our team is comprised of
professionals with diverse backgrounds who are committed
to excellence in their field of expertise. But there is nothing
more important to us than client relationships built on
personal involvement, mutual trust, and openness. And
we give you more than our word. We give you a dedicated
contact person who is responsible for handling the various
aspects of your matters — coordinating across practices
whenever necessary.
Challenge us.
At every level.
S
P tax While we advise on general tax matters (tax structures,
general tax issues, annual financial statements), our focus remains on
corporate tax law, international tax law, reorganisation tax law, and
inheritance and gift tax, and capital investment tax assessments.
We also represent our clients before all German tax authorities and
finance courts.
S
P legal We provide integrated and comprehensive legal
counsel across practices that runs the gamut from drafting contracts
to in-court representation. Our expertise includes commercial law,
corporate law, property law, inheritance/succession law, real estate law,
private construction law, IP law, competition law, labour law, criminal
tax law, and commercial criminal law.
S
P accounting Our approach is synonymous with modern
compliance and international best practices. In essence, this means that
we (i) conduct regulatory, statutory, and voluntary audits of financial
statements and consolidated financial statements in accordance with
applicable German law and international accounting standards; (ii)
prepare integrated budgets, reorganization concepts, and business
valuation reports (as court-appointed experts or on other occasions);
and (iii) advise public corporations and implement sophisticated
conversion projects designed to move from German to international
accounting standards.
S
P asset management We manage private assets of
high-net worth individuals. We advise on tax and structuring issues
and ensure that tailored and comprehensive solutions are implemented
so that your assets will enjoy longevity and be effectively utilised for
generations to come.
Thriving on complexity.

from across practices. And we thrive in the face of difficult and multi­
faceted challenges.

and holdings of any and all legal forms

have a proven track record and are well-acquainted with the ins and outs
of the countries they are located in. We also have long-standing relationships with firms and service providers in other areas including, but not
limited to, insurance and management consultancy.

to get you the results you need. We are well
connected, but not bound by any exclusivity
agreements. Our multi-lingual country desks
are specialised in individual countries/regions
and ensure that our coordination efforts
precipitate into country-specific solutions and
sound overall concepts for you.
Your firm for your
business with offices
in Augsburg, Munich,
Frankfurt, and Ulm.
Proven track record Sonntag Partner started as a sole practice in
1978 by Dieter Sonntag in Augsburg, Germany, and became a partnership three
years later after Dieter Sonntag merged his practice with those of Peter Alterauge
and Dr. Peter Berndsen.
The firm has continued to grow ever since. Matters have increasingly grown in
sophistication, while new partners and other professionals have built out and
strengthened the firm’s competencies. This growth precipitated in a move into
the prestigious Prinz-Karl-Palais and the opening of additional offices in Munich,
Frankfurt am Main, and Ulm. Today, Sonntag Partner has over 240 employees
in Augsburg, Munich, Frankfurt am Main, and Ulm.
