Why clients trust our expertise
EXTERNAL LEGAL DEPARTMENT FOR SMEs
Your company,
our backing.
Many small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) lack their own legal department. At the same time, legal questions constantly arise in day-to-day business – from contract drafting and project structures to conflicts with business partners. We support SMEs with external legal counsel that understands economic contexts, pragmatically assesses legal issues, and provides legal security for business decisions. You determine the course of your company. We provide a secure legal framework behind the scenes – with ongoing support for contracts, projects, and negotiations, as well as for assessing legal risks. This allows you to remain agile and gives you the freedom to focus on your core business.
INTERIM MANAGEMENT
Take the lead
Stabilize structures.
Companies don't always reach their goals via a straight path. Especially during transitions and periods of change, it can be beneficial to temporarily bring in external leadership expertise. We support managing directors and management teams as interim managers or strategic advisors – with experience in leadership roles, legal departments, and transformation processes.
Where changes in direction, high pressure to make decisions, and organizational changes converge, we take responsibility, streamline structures, and re-establish a stable course. This includes, in particular, the establishment or restructuring of legal and HR departments, as well as supporting managers through challenging periods of change.
BUSINESS COACHING
Opening up perspectives
Developing solutions.
Professional issues often initially seem narrow, complex, or intractable. In business coaching, we create the space to view situations from a different perspective, to recognize connections more clearly, and to develop new courses of action. In this way, a broader overview emerges from a condensed perspective – and a viable overall picture develops from individual aspects.
Unlike interim management, we do not assume operational responsibility, but rather support clarification and reflection. And unlike personal consulting for executives, the focus is not on the confidential decision-making situation of an individual manager, but on the structured processing of professional issues, roles, and dynamics within the company context.
PERSONAL CONSULTING FOR EXECUTIVES
Reflect on strategies, clarify decisions.
Leaders are often under immense pressure to make decisions and simultaneously have few trusted confidants for complex professional situations. In such moments, personal coaching provides a calm, safe space where even sensitive considerations can be openly addressed without jeopardizing one's leadership role. The confidential conversation with an experienced and competent sparring partner often offers a fresh perspective that is otherwise rarely available in the daily grind of leadership.
The focus is not on temporary operational responsibility or the structured handling of general professional topics, but rather on the confidential reflection of personal leadership and decision-making situations. This allows for a sharpening of priorities, the development of a robust personal standpoint, and decisions to be made with greater calm and clarity.

PERSONAL CONSULTING FOR EXECUTIVES
Reflect on strategies, clarify decisions.
Executives are often under intense pressure to make decisions and simultaneously have few confidential sounding boards for complex professional situations. In such moments, an independent sparring partner can offer new perspectives.
Dr. Marcel Faßbender advises executives on difficult decisions, during periods of reorientation, or during structural changes within companies. His combination of legal expertise, management experience, and personal empathy enables him to provide advice that is both strategically sound and humanly understanding.
BUSINESS COACHING
Opening up perspectives, developing solutions.
Business coaching is rarely solely a business matter. Many professional issues stem from personal challenges that must first be understood before sustainable solutions can be developed.
In working with Dr. Marcel Faßbender, the focus is therefore initially on the individual – their situation, their goals, and their personal circumstances. Based on this foundation, professional issues can be clearly analyzed and new courses of action developed. It often turns out that seemingly complex problems can be solved more quickly once the underlying personal aspects become clear.
INTERIM MANAGEMENT
Take over leadership, stabilize structures.
In specific business situations, it can be beneficial to temporarily bring in external leadership expertise. Dr. Marcel Faßbender supports companies as an interim manager or strategic advisor to executives and management teams.
Thanks to his experience as managing director of international subsidiaries and head of large legal teams, he quickly assumes responsibility, stabilizes structures, and implements necessary changes. This includes, in particular, the establishment or realignment of legal and human resources departments, as well as supporting managers during transformation phases.
EXTERNAL LEGAL DEPARTMENT FOR SMEs
Clarify the law, secure decisions.
Many small and medium-sized enterprises do not have their own legal department. At the same time, legal questions constantly arise in day-to-day business – from contract drafting and project structures to conflicts with business partners.
We offer SMEs a practical alternative to traditional law firm advice: external legal support that understands economic contexts and solves legal questions pragmatically. Through structured preparation and clear communication, specialists are strategically involved where their expertise is needed. This creates legal certainty and supports well-informed business decisions.
