Practice
Twenty years ago, Andreas was the first lawyer at POELLATH to specialize exclusively in tax, legal and strategic advice to large private clients. In the following two decades, together with his partners and colleagues, he led POELLATH to the top of the market in the fields of succession, private clients and foundations. In addition to his classical legal practice, Andreas holds a large number of positions on supervisory and advisory boards of family businesses and family offices, acts as executor for entrepreneurial assets and serves on the board of directors of charitable foundations. In addition to his profession, Andreas is passionate about tennis.
