Extended Expertise
Our advice is grounded in substantive expertise, sector knowledge, and a practical focus on our clients' business goals. We take an interdisciplinary, pragmatic, and solution-oriented approach — always striving to create sustainable value for our clients. This enables us to develop tailored, economically viable solutions in a dynamic environment.
CORPORATE & VENTURE CAPITAL
We advise entrepreneurs, founders, high-growth businesses, venture capital and private equity investors, family offices, business angels, and national and international corporations on financing transactions, strategic growth initiatives, exits, acquisitions, and divestitures.
A particular focus of our practice is the structuring and execution of venture capital and growth financing rounds, including investments through convertible instruments, mezzanine financing, venture debt, and funding structures for academic and university spin-offs. We also advise on the formation and structuring of venture capital funds and conduct legal due diligence for fund investments.
Our team supports companies and investors throughout strategic transactions and transformational processes, including capital measures, joint ventures, mergers and acquisitions (M&A), exits, and corporate reorganizations. We advise both buyers and sellers through comprehensive legal due diligence, providing clear assessments of opportunities and risks, developing tailored transaction structures, and ensuring that legal insights are effectively integrated into negotiations and implementation. Our objective is always to create solutions that are legally robust, tax-efficient, and aligned with our clients’ commercial goals.
In addition, we advise on the design and implementation of management and employee incentive schemes, including virtual and equity-based participation programs and profit participation rights. We support clients with shareholder meetings, general meetings, and all aspects of corporate governance, including board and management matters.
Our Corporate & Venture Capital lawyers are recognized throughout the market not only for their transactional expertise, but also for their thought leadership. The team includes authors of leading publications such as the Venture Capital Handbook (7th edition, C.H. Beck, 2022) and actively contributes to the development of innovative market standards, including the GESSI model documentation for venture financings and employee participation programs. Through active engagement with industry associations and working groups, we are committed to improving the legal and regulatory environment for venture capital and entrepreneurship in Germany.
TECH, DIGITAL & DATA
We help businesses design, build, and protect digital business models—from the initial platform concept to scalable products and services. Whether the challenge involves cybersecurity, data protection and governance, AI-driven applications, media and platform regulation, or complex research and development arrangements, WIPIT supports clients across every stage of the physical and digital value chain.
Combining a deep understanding of platform economics, data-driven business models, and digital content ecosystems with extensive expertise in the rapidly evolving regulation of emerging technologies, we take a holistic approach to legal and commercial challenges. This enables us to create structures that are not only legally compliant, but also commercially practical and operationally effective—from IT and collaboration agreements to sales and distribution models, e-commerce solutions, and product compliance frameworks.
We advise on the implementation of complex technology and media projects, develop bespoke contractual and governance structures, and enforce our clients’ rights both in and out of court. Our experience covers hardware and software solutions, digital content, and online services. Where required, we work seamlessly with our international network of trusted partners to support cross-border digital infrastructure projects and media offerings.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
We protect intellectual assets, technologies, creative works, and know-how—from the earliest stages ofinnovation through development and successful commercialization. Whether the matter concerns patents, trademarks, designs, copyrights, related media rights, or the protection of trade secrets, WIPIT ensures that valuable innovations and creative assets are effectively safeguarded.
Our industry and technology expertise allows us to view intellectual property strategically within the broader context of each client’s business model. We advise on the structuring of R&D projects, licensing arrangements, technology transfers, content and media licensing, and the development of comprehensive IP and rights portfolios. The result is a protection and commercialization strategy designed to support business objectives rather than constrain them.
We assist clients with the creation, registration, licensing, management, and enforcement of intellectual property rights and media-related rights. We represent clients in negotiations, arbitration proceedings, and litigation before state courts. Where global protection and enforcement are required, we coordinate with specialized international network partners to secure and defend rights across multiple jurisdictions.
