What DanTaxLegal does

DanTaxLegal (legal entity: dtl DanTaxLegal Berufsausübungsgesellschaft aus Steuerberatern und Rechtsanwälten mbH) is a privately held cross-disciplinary tax and legal advisory firm founded in 1986 and headquartered in Harrislee, Germany, directly adjacent to the Danish border near Flensburg. The firm operates a dual-office model with a branch in Copenhagen, Denmark, and is owned jointly by three managing partners: Jan Meyer-Sievers (Steuerberater, partner since 2009), Birgit Søgaard (Steuerberaterin, partner since 2017), and Hans Köster (Rechtsanwalt, partner since 2021). It is structured as a German Berufsausübungsgesellschaft mbH, a regulated professional corporation form combining tax advisors and lawyers under one roof.

The firm's service offering spans four core practice areas: market entry advisory for international companies entering Germany, international and cross-border tax law (with particular focus on Danish-German relations), accounting and bookkeeping under German HGB standards, and payroll/HR plus labour law. All advisors are licensed under the Steuerberaterkammer Schleswig-Holstein and Schleswig-Holsteinische Rechtsanwaltskammer, with multiple team members holding the specialist designation Fachberater für internationales Steuerrecht. The firm delivers advisory in Danish, addressing language and regulatory friction for Nordic clients operating in Germany, and offers qualified electronic signatures under Section 7 of the German Signature Act as a digital execution capability.

Revenue is generated entirely through professional services engagements on a quote-based model, with no disclosed pricing or subscription offering. The firm employs approximately 60 staff (firmographics lists 41), reaches clients through direct outreach, referral partnerships with credit institutions, auditors, and lawyers, plus a LinkedIn presence and newsletter. There is no evidence of external institutional investment, no parent company, no funding rounds, no M&A activity, and no AI/ML technology layer; growth has been organic and partner-driven across the firm's 39-year operating history.
