Matthias Weidmann
Lawyer and Tax Advisor · Founding Partner, Steger Weidmann Schmidl
Weidmann combines legal, tax, and commercial expertise in a single advisory practice. His academic background includes studies in both law and business administration, the First and Second State Examinations in Law in Bavaria, a university business degree, and a Master of Laws.
His consulting philosophy is built around individual solutions rather than standardised answers. He approaches legal, tax, and economic questions together, reflecting the way they interact in the practical decisions made by companies, entrepreneurs, and private clients.
In tax law, he advises on the ongoing organisation of tax affairs as well as forward-looking structuring. His approach extends beyond declarations and figures to identifying design opportunities and developing legally sound, tax-efficient solutions.
His corporate-law work includes drafting articles of association and partnership agreements, corporate restructurings, contributions and contributions in kind, financing arrangements, and shareholder disputes. Tax consequences are considered as part of the corporate solution from the beginning.
In succession law, he helps clients transfer companies, real estate, and private or business assets to the next generation in a legally secure and tax-optimised form. His work covers both lifetime transfers and succession planning through testamentary arrangements.
As a graduate in business administration, Weidmann also evaluates the economic effects of legal and tax decisions. His advice considers balance sheets, profit and loss accounts, business ratios, financing, and the client's wider financial position.
His official profile records professional experience in Germany and abroad with major law firms and companies, including work as a lawyer and tax advisor in partner status. He is also an arbitrator with the German Arbitration Institute, the DIS, and works as a speaker and author.
