Foundations and Non-Profit Organizations

POELLATH provides comprehensive legal and tax advice to founders, philanthropists, and organizations. For almost 30 years, we have supported foundations and non-profit organizations – from the establishment through day-to-day operations and governance to structural adjustments and further development.
