Comprehensive capital markets law advice from our lawyers in Berlin
Many years of experience for our Berlin clients
Capital investments can be a solid basis for building wealth – but at the same time they harbor pitfalls that are not always obvious at first glance. Anyone who wants to protect their money and make smart use of opportunities should therefore not make decisions “on gut feeling.” In Berlin, it is particularly advisable to carefully assess plans involving investment products and weigh possible risks early, before costly missteps occur.
Not every investment delivers the hoped-for return: price losses, unclear contract terms, or problematic product structures can noticeably affect private as well as institutional investors. Our lawyers in Berlin help you evaluate different investment options in a comprehensible way, recognize warning signs in time, and set the right course from the outset. This often helps avoid unpleasant surprises – or at least significantly reduce them.
If a loss has already occurred, we are also available to you. We support you in enforcing claims for damages and represent your interests firmly. Our services in Berlin include, among other things, reviewing investment products as well as providing ongoing support in preserving and strategically protecting your assets.
Rely on dependable support: our lawyers in Berlin help you protect your capital as effectively as possible and consistently assert your claims.
Professional advice on investments
Advising private and institutional investors in Berlin
Whether private investment or business financing: anyone wanting to position their capital strategically needs a reliable framework for decisions. Especially when markets fluctuate, promised returns suddenly fail to materialize, or a price drop throws planning off course, a seemingly safe investment can quickly turn into a risk. In such moments, one thing matters above all: act early, assess risks properly, and take consistent countermeasures before losses occur.
In Berlin, lawyers help you sensibly organize your asset structure and establish protective mechanisms suited to your situation. This also includes critically examining conspicuous models or hard-to-follow processes, so that your assets are not burdened by opaque practices. Developing a viable investment strategy can likewise be part of this support – with a view to stability, planning security, and a clear basis for decisions.
When tax questions and banking-related matters intersect, a holistic view is especially valuable. In Berlin, you therefore receive support that brings together the various factors of your financial situation and derives measures in a structured way. This creates an approach geared to your goals, that makes use of available scope, and is at the same time designed to protect your capital over the long term.
Safeguarding your interests in stock corporation law
Support for the management board, supervisory board and shareholders from Berlin
Anyone planning or already running a stock corporation (AG) in Berlin benefits from clear, forward-looking support. Our lawyers help shareholders, supervisory boards, and management boards develop suitable corporate models, clearly delineate responsibilities, and keep an eye on possible risks at an early stage. Especially in the initial phase of an AG in Berlin, structured implementation is essential – from preparation through to the practical design of internal processes.
Equally important is the consistent exercise of shareholder rights. In Berlin, our lawyers provide support in particular when resolutions of the general meeting are to be reviewed and challenged. Another focus is on matters of ad hoc disclosure under Section 15 of the German Securities Trading Act (WpHG): if price-relevant inside information is published late, incompletely, or incorrectly, this can – depending on the situation – give rise to claims for damages. For investors and shareholders in Berlin, we create a reliable framework in such cases to review possible claims, realistically assess the chances of success, and align the next steps with your goals.

Real estate funds — capital investment with risks
Legal advice is essential to minimize risks in real estate fund investments
In Berlin, real estate is seen by many as a tangible way of building wealth. Even so, a closer look is worthwhile: interests in real estate funds can also prove riskier than marketing materials often suggest. In recent years in particular, quite a few investors in Berlin have experienced how seemingly solid concepts can suddenly result in significant losses.
There are numerous triggers for such setbacks – and they often occur in combination. When the market turns, valuations and financing conditions change. If cost increases for construction or modernization work are then added, calculations quickly fall out of balance. Likewise, weaker demand for rental space can mean that projected income is not achieved. If rents fall short or expenses for administration and maintenance rise at the same time, distributions are reduced or suspended altogether. In the worst-case scenario, the fund may even become insolvent. For investors, this means: returns fail to materialize, payments already received can in some cases be reclaimed, and in extreme cases the capital invested is lost entirely.
Lawyers from MTR Legal support investors from Berlin in clarifying their position and examining possible claims for damages. If, for example, documents contained inaccurate information or mistakes were made during advisory sessions, the lawyers work to limit the financial consequences as far as possible.
Shipping funds — high-risk investment for investors
Rely on our experience in secure investments and contract drafting
Ship funds were long regarded as a solid component of wealth planning: the prospect of regular distributions seemed reliable, and many investors expected predictable results. In practice, however, it has become apparent that such interests – similar to other closed-end investment forms – can be considerably more vulnerable than sales materials or conversations with brokers suggest. If incorrect assumptions are made about the market, charter rates, or costs, this can, in the worst case, lead to a total loss of the invested capital.
Those affected in Berlin can have it checked whether all decisive points were disclosed transparently beforehand. The lawyers in Berlin look in particular at whether risks were clearly stated, disadvantages explained in an understandable way, and documents handed over in good time. If information was missing, statements were embellished, or key details were omitted, steps may be considered to offset the financial disadvantages. The goal is to establish and consistently pursue possible claims for damages in a well-founded way.
Additional pressure often arises when amounts already paid out are later reclaimed. Repayment demands, for example asserted by an insolvency administrator, tend to arise particularly in connection with the insolvency of a ship fund. In such situations as well, the lawyers in Berlin support clients in reviewing claims, assessing objections, and effectively representing their position – with the focus on securing your assets and fending off unjustified burdens.

Private Equity and Venture Capital
High profit opportunities and high risks – Comprehensive legal advice for Berlin
In Berlin, the topic of participation models is increasingly coming into focus for many investors. Rather than relying exclusively on classic forms of investment, investors are increasingly setting up their own private equity structures to take stakes in companies and profit from potential increases in value after a defined holding period. Various types of legal entities come into consideration here: from the GmbH to the KG to the GbR, associations arise in which institutional and private investors pool their capital and, for example, invest it in private equity funds.
As appealing as the prospect of returns may be, the flip side should always be kept in mind. This is especially true when borrowed funds are additionally used to finance a stake, which can have far-reaching consequences if things go wrong. If a venture fails, obligations, responsibilities, and possible claims for compensation quickly move to the center of attention. It is precisely these situations that often give rise to demanding questions around liability and financial consequences.
If an investment goes off track or there are disagreements about claims, reliable legal support is essential. The lawyers of MTR Legal in Berlin help investors clarify open questions, enforce legitimate claims, and work through liability issues in an orderly way.
Alongside private equity, venture capital also plays an important role in Berlin: young companies receive capital, while investors receive company shares in return and take on increased risk. Precisely because of this risk profile, it is advisable to rely on experienced lawyers in capital markets law in Berlin for such ventures.
