POELLATH's strength lies in transactional tax law and asset management, whereby it routinely supports the design of tax-optimised PE buy-out structures and advises on investment fund structuring and transactions, particularly those in the real estate sector. It is instructed by investors, wealthy private individuals and family businesses. The team is jointly led by Michael Best (transactions and private equity) and Hardy Fischer, who is well versed in real estate-related tax issues. André Fest, who is experienced in the implementation of tax compliance systems, made partner in January 2024.
