LPA-GGV

What LPA-GGV does

LPA-GGV, operating as LPA Law Tax, is a German law firm founded in 1974 that provides specialized advisory services in tax law (Steuerrecht) and business/commercial law (Wirtschaftsrecht). The firm serves corporate and business clients from three offices in Germany's primary financial and economic centers — Hamburg, Frankfurt, and Munich — with service lines spanning tax planning, tax compliance, tax litigation and representation before German tax authorities and courts, corporate governance, contract drafting, M&A support, and business restructuring. Internationally, LPA-GGV extends its reach through membership in TAG Alliances, a global network of independent law and accounting firms that enables cross-border mandates without the capital intensity of foreign offices.

The firm's go-to-market is built on a partner-led, professional services model: free pricing is not publicly disclosed and engagements are quote-based, varying with scope, complexity, and time required. Demand generation relies on content marketing — most prominently monthly tax-law Informationsbriefe — supplemented by press releases, event participation, and media coverage. Customer segmentation is horizontal, targeting corporate/business clients across industries with tax and business law advisory needs. The firm is privately held with no parent company, subsidiaries, or external equity investors identified, and operates without technology products, apps, AI capabilities, or patents. Recent activity includes the June 2026 appointment of Dr. Steffen Paulmann as Managing Partner of the Frankfurt and Hamburg offices, reinforcing senior leadership in the firm's two largest locations.
