Peter Muth is a certified trade law and company law attorney. The focus of his consulting activity is on extra-judicial conflict advice and conduct of cases in company-law and complex commercial-law litigations, as well as on transactions (M&A), particularly

  • Corporate litigation: Consulting and representation in disputes between and among shareholders (e.g. dispute on adopted resolutions, disputed removal from the management and expulsion from the company) and conduct of cases involving company law (e.g. actions for avoidance and actions for annulment, preliminary injunction);
  • M&A litigation: Consulting and representation in M&A disputes (e.g. violation of guarantee clauses in the corporate acquisition contract);
  • D&O liability: Disputes on liability of corporate bodies;
  • Consulting and representation in complex trade-law and commercial-law disputes (particularly also with regard to Italy);
  • Transactions: Preparation and negotiation of corporate acquisition contracts (share deal/asset deal) and implementation of legal due diligence audits.

Peter Muth also focuses on inheritance law, in particular advising family-owned businesses on the inheritance and corporate law structuring of business transfers during their lifetime and on (litigious) corporate succession arrangements. He also advises on inheritance disputes and acts as executor.

Moreover, Peter Muth is a member of the Italian Desk of SNP. His special language skills enable him to provide advice to and represent Italian clients in Germany.

Peter Muth studied law at the Ludwig-Maximilians University in Munich and at the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore in Milan.
