What Prof. Dr. Baumann + Partner mbB does

Prof. Dr. Baumann + Partner mbB is a German partnership of lawyers (Rechtsanwälte), tax advisors (Steuerberater), auditors (Wirtschaftsprüfer) and business consultants (Unternehmensberater) organized as a Partnerschaftsgesellschaft mit beschränkter Berufshaftung (mbB). The firm operates five offices across Baden-Württemberg — Stuttgart (headquarters), Aalen, Crailsheim, Dinkelsbühl and Ellwangen — and is led by four authorized partners: Prof. Dr. Raimund Baumann (RA/StB), Fabian Baur (RA), Tobias Humpf (RA, Fachanwalt für Insolvenzrecht) and Andreas Maier (StB). Its service portfolio spans four integrated lines: Steuerberatung (tax consulting covering financial accounting, payroll, annual statements and tax returns), Rechtsberatung (legal advisory across labor, corporate, family, tenancy and traffic law), Unternehmensberatung (business consulting including succession, M&A and restructuring), and Insolvenzverwaltung (court-appointed insolvency administration, including self-administration and insolvency plans). Tobias Humpf alone has led over 1,000 insolvency cases to outcome over more than 20 years, anchoring a significant regional restructuring practice.

The firm's go-to-market is sales-led and entirely relationship-driven: clients are acquired through referrals, reputation in insolvency administration, and direct inquiries, with no digital product or self-service channel. Revenue is generated exclusively through professional-services fees — hourly rates, fixed project fees, and court-approved insolvency-administration rates — across four streams (Legal Advisory, Tax Advisory, Insolvency Administration, Corporate Advisory). Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is determined per engagement. The firm holds ISO 9001:2015 certification (TÜV SÜD, Audit 707120962) for legal services and insolvency administration and is a member of DIRO, the German association of independent law firms. The customer base is concentrated in regional small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) facing succession, restructuring or insolvency situations, supplemented by individual legal clients and ongoing tax-compliance mandates. Technology use is limited to standard practice management tools; no proprietary platform, no AI/ML capability, and no funding or external capital structure are disclosed.
