ESC-Profile

Esche Schümann Commichau in Hamburg is one of the largest multi-disciplinary practices in Germany. Its origins date back to the year 1822. For more than 30 years, we have provided legal and tax advice and auditing services across the boundaries of our professions. Our integrated teams comprise approx. 80 lawyers, tax advisors and certified accountants and a support staff of almost 100.

We see ourselves as business orientated advisers and as partners of our clients. Our clients benefit from our broad professional experience, as demonstrated by the fact that many of our clients have trusted us with their business over the years and sometimes for decades and even over generations. Our goal, now and in the future, is to develop specific and successful strategies – if necessary by incorporating specialists from other areas of expertise within the firm. Lean structures coupled with self-monitored high standards ensure the best in service and quality. As an independent entity we can put the wishes of our clients first in every individual case.

Our clients are primarily mid-size to large companies and groups of companies, companies owned by the local, state or federal government and financial investors. Our services cover all areas of the law pertinent to commercial endeavours, national and international tax law as well as financial advice, business consulting and accountancy services. We also offer services for private investors, in particular with regard to tax issues, wealth structuring and succession/inheritance.
