FAQ

Frequently asked questions and answers on corporate law to lawyer Dr. Klaus Höchstetter

The following different legal forms exist:

  • Sole proprietorship
  • Company under civil law (GbR)
  • Registered merchant (e.K.)
  • Limited partnership (KG)
  • Public limited company (AG)
  • Limited liability company (GmbH) or entrepreneurial company (haftungsbeschränkt)
  • GmbH & Co KG
  • General partnership (OHG)

First of all: there is no “ideal” legal form; each legal form has specific advantages and disadvantages for a company. It is therefore important to clarify the following aspects before choosing a legal form:

  • Number of people founding the company
  • Who should manage the company?
  • Amount of equity to be raised
  • Risk assessment of the project
  • Is a limitation of personal liability desired?
  • Scope of formalities associated with the foundation
  • Priority of corporate creditworthiness
  • Is an entry in the commercial register required?
  • Should the right of entry in the commercial register be exercised?

In addition, it should be regularly reviewed whether the chosen corporate legal form still makes sense, as changes such as expansion or a higher liability risk can always result in a disadvantageous development of the legal form for the company.

For a contract to be legally binding, the following requirements must be met:

  • The subject matter and content of the contract must also be clearly defined and recognizable to outsiders
  • Mutual receipt of the concurring declaration of intent of the contracting parties
  • Legal capacity of the contracting parties


Not all contracts need to be in writing to be legally binding.

Types of contract that are valid in oral form are primarily oral sales contracts, such as those concluded in everyday life (supermarket etc.). Purchase agreements that must be concluded in writing include, for example, tenancy agreements (provided the tenancy is to last for at least one year).

Finally, there are also contracts that have to be notarized, such as real estate purchase agreements.

Legally binding contracts are generally binding for both contracting parties. However, a consumer, for example, has the legal right to withdraw from the contract. In this case, the customer can cancel the declaration of intent within the statutory period (14 days) and then return any goods already purchased.
