Maximilian Rohrbach

Maximilian Rohrbach is a certified Specialist Lawyer in Commercial and Corporate Law and advises companies, shareholders and managing directors across all phases of the corporate life cycle — from incorporation through financing rounds and growth stages to M&A transactions, restructurings and succession planning.

His focus is on the strategic and operational design of corporate structures (GmbH, UG, AG, GmbH & Co. KG), the drafting and negotiation of tailored articles of association, shareholders' agreements (including vesting, ESOP and VSOP arrangements) and the legally sound conduct of shareholder meetings. He supports start-ups and tech growth companies from initial term sheet through due diligence and investment agreements to exit; he assists mid-cap companies with conversions and mergers, joint ventures and group-organisation matters. In commercial law, he provides comprehensive advice on distribution and supply-chain models, commercial-agency contracts, general terms and conditions, warranty and liability topics — always with a view to scalability, compliance and commercial feasibility.

One of Maximilian Rohrbach's particular strengths is advising in crisis. He identifies managing-director liability risks at an early stage, addresses insolvency-filing duties and crisis indicators, structures restructuring options (out-of-court and pre-insolvency) and accompanies stakeholder negotiations with shareholders, creditors and investors. In contentious situations he represents his clients in insolvency-avoidance and director-liability proceedings with determination and rigour, develops resilient litigation and settlement strategies and keeps the focus on risk mitigation, reputation and timing. Thanks to his experience at the interface of corporate, commercial and insolvency law, he steers transactions safely across the finish line even in challenging special situations.

His advisory style is entrepreneurial, precise and solutions-oriented: clear assessments instead of theory, resilient decision papers instead of non-committal statements. Whether founding, financing, growth, succession or restructuring — Maximilian Rohrbach creates legal clarity, negotiates as an equal and implements the chosen options efficiently.
