You will get the creation and registration of a German UG
Project details
Are you planning to set up a UG? This particularly highly regarded form of company offers you many advantages and the possibility of excluding your private liability. Our law firm has assisted with numerous company formations and will set up your UG quickly, legally compliant and at a fixed price. Your articles of association, specially tailored to your UG, will be drawn up by me. However, the service fee does not include the costs of notarisation of the articles of association and the business documents, the entry in the commercial register or transfer register, the business registration and the Chamber of Industry and Commerce fee.

30 minute consultation
Stephan was excellent to work with. He walked me through my options clearly. What stood out most was his honesty, he gave me a straight, realistic assessment rather than just telling me what I wanted to hear. Highly recommend.

About Stephan
External DPO | German Lawyer | GDPR, AI Act & EU Compliance Consultant
100%
Job Success
Braunschweig, Germany - 8:46 am local time
I am a **German-qualified lawyer (First and Second German State Examination in Law)**, a **certified Data Protection Officer (TÜV)** and **certified Compliance Officer (TÜV)** with extensive experience advising international businesses on European regulatory requirements.
I currently serve as **External Data Protection Officer and Compliance Officer for a German technology company**, while also advising international clients across SaaS, AI, HealthTech, education, e-commerce and digital services.
Unlike many consultants who focus purely on legal theory, I work directly with founders, executives and operational teams to build compliance programs that are practical, commercially viable and support business growth.
Over the course of my career I have advised companies and entrepreneurs from **more than 40 countries** across Europe, North America, Asia, Australia and the Middle East, helping them establish legally compliant operations in Germany and throughout the European Union.
## What makes me different
Many businesses don't simply need a GDPR consultant.
They need one trusted advisor who understands how legal, privacy, compliance and commercial realities fit together.
My clients work with me because I combine:
• German legal education
• Practical experience as a former attorney
• Active work as External DPO and Compliance Officer
• International business experience
• Business-oriented advice instead of purely academic legal analysis
• Clear communication in English and German
I don't just draft documents.
I help companies implement workable compliance structures that support sales, enterprise procurement, fundraising and long-term growth.

Steps for completing your project

Delivery time starts when Stephan receives requirements from you.
Stephan works on your project following the steps below.
Revisions may occur after the delivery date.
Advice from me
You will receive legal advice on founding the company. This takes place as part of a consultation between the founders and me - and serves as the basis for the articles of association that are customised to your needs.
Confirm company name
Do you know whether there are any legal objections to your desired company name? This should be checked in good time. Some IHKs / HWKs carry out a so-called preliminary opinion procedure, whichIcan do for you.
