We make the difference.
PACTUM legal advises entrepreneurs, shareholders and managing directors in corporate and tax law — in structuring and in court. With the depth of a large firm and the directness of a boutique.
Get in touchAn independent law firm with focus.
PACTUM advises mid-sized companies, shareholders and corporate officers in four closely connected fields: corporate law, tax litigation, shareholder disputes and directors’ liability — structuring where conflict can be avoided, and litigating where it must be fought.
Our way of working follows a clear logic: small teams, personal responsibility, uncompromising preparation. What we draft must stand up in court. What we argue in court, we argue through to the decision.
Four fields. One approach.
Our work focuses on four closely connected areas of business law. We believe in depth over breadth — and in clients who stay with us for years, not just for single mandates.
Corporate Law
Designing and maintaining corporate structures — from formation and shareholder agreements to succession planning in family businesses.
Tax Litigation
Representation in contentious tax proceedings — from objection proceedings against the tax authorities through actions before the fiscal courts to appeals to the Federal Fiscal Court.
Shareholder Disputes
Representation in complex disputes between shareholders — before state courts and arbitral tribunals. We litigate when necessary. And avoid it when it is wiser.
Directors’ Liability
Advising and representing managing directors, executive and supervisory board members on liability — preventively in office as well as in defending and enforcing liability claims.
Christoph Bubb advises entrepreneurs, shareholders and investors on corporate law, contentious tax proceedings and court disputes — with the ambition of structuring complex matters clearly and managing them reliably.
Full profile Follow on LinkedInHow we work.
Six principles that show how we work: fast and adaptable where circumstances change — and professionally uncompromising where the matter itself is at stake.
Agility
No committees, no holding patterns. We decide quickly and react fast — in hours, not weeks.
Flexibility
Circumstances change — overnight. We continuously adapt strategy, pace and approach. The mandate sets the rhythm, not our routine.
Professional Excellence
Agile does not mean superficial. We work with the depth of a large firm — in every line, every brief, every instance.
Endurance
From objection through the fiscal court to the appeal in Munich: we argue a position through every instance — without losing edge.
Judgement
Not every shareholder conflict belongs in a courtroom. We litigate when necessary — and negotiate when it is wiser.
Backbone
Defending or enforcing directors’ liability requires conviction. We say what we believe to be right — to our client and to the other side.
