Dr Reinhard Pöllath, of P+P Pöllath + Partners, a firm with 75 attorneys and tax advisers,
has advised in law and tax matters since 1975. He was a senior partner in the Frankfurt,
Berlin and Munich offices of a major German and also of a major international firm,
working with most of the present P+P partners. In his practice areas (mergers and
acquisitions, private equity funds, structuring companies and investments, successions,
trusts, foundations), he has written and lectured extensively to business, professional and
academic audiences. He is heavily involved in pro bono micro-loan projects in developing
countries, in promoting Chinese in German schools, in defending human rights, and in
raising funds for Max Planck, the major German scientific organization.
Reinhard studied law in Regensburg, Cambridge, MA, and Munich. He has two lovely
children.
P+P specialize in legal and tax advice in two areas: transactions (mainly mergers and
acquisitions, private equity, real estate) and asset management (mainly investments,
financial products, successions). Within these specialist areas of expertise, P+P assist
companies, owners, investment banks, funds, family offices and others in handling
mergers and acquisitions transactions (including due diligence, post-acquisition
restructuring, financing, syndication, de-listing, IPOs/secondary offerings); structuring
and placing private equity, venture capital and other closed-end or public funds including
funds of funds (starting with the very first private equity funds for Germany in the 1970s).
P+P also assists in structuring financial products for investment banks; screening funds or
products for institutional and private investors; organizing a family office, assisting in its
investment activities, advising on wills, trusts, and intra-family agreements; accompanying
real estate projects for owners, developers and contractors from purchase through sale;
restituting East German properties and defending investors against restitutions;
negotiating tax rulings and audit settlements; sitting on arbitration, supervisory or other
boards; or serving as a nominee, trustee or administrator.
In these specialized transactional and asset management areas, P+P partners cooperate
freely with leading professionals in the relevant practice areas. P+P are not affiliated with
any other firm or group. P+P partners provide services only in specialized areas, but there
they provide full service, such as 24-hour office support, assistance in organizing a sales
process or a family office or in providing book- or record-keeping services, running a socalled
beauty contest on behalf of a client or finding or out-placing executives.
Other partners in the P+P offices in Berlin, Frankfurt and Munich are Matthias Bruse,
Andrea von Drygalski, Andreas Rodin, Thomas Töben, Ralph Wagner, Andres
Schollmeier, Philipp von Braunschweig, Andreas Wilhelm, Dieter Birk, Otto Haberstock,
Michael Best, Matthias Durst, Carsten Führling, Uwe Bärenz, Margot Gräfin von
Westerholt, Benedikt Hohaus, Michael Inhester, Stefan Lebek, Wolfgang Tischbirek and
Julian Lemor.
