About Us
Every case is different. It is therefore important to us to first understand our clients' needs and objectives. On the basis of that we then jointly develop strategies and solutions and implement them methodically. As well as working closely together with HEUSSEN B.V. in Amsterdam we cooperate with partners both in Germany and abroad. HEUSSEN takes an international, multi-disciplinary approach and works closely together with tax advisers, auditors and corporate finance consultants. It is only with this understanding of consulting that we do justice to our clients' expectations.
Our main practice areas are corporate law, mergers & acquisitions, banking and capital market, construction and land law, employment law, public law, succession, wealth and foundation law, insolvency and energy law.

In 1998 PricewaterhouseCoopers Veltins was founded in co-operation withPricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), the world's largest auditing and tax firm. Whilst operating under the name of PwC Veltins, HEUSSEN expanded quickly by combining with various different practices or individual partners of renowned legal partnerships, that have decades of experience and tradition.
As a result of the tightening of independence laws for accounting firms (the SEC regulations, Sarbanes Oxley Act, Revised Balance Sheet Regulations) HEUSSEN decided to become independent of PwC. In the course of becoming independent, the firm was re-named HEUSSEN Rechtsanwaltsgesellschaft mbH in 2003. Prof. Dr. Heussen is one of the "leading lawyers" worldwide.
Since 2005 we are working closely together with HEUSSEN B.V. in Amsterdam. -
