About Becker Büttner Held

Als Partnerschaft von Rechtsanwälten, Steuerberatern und Wirtschaftsprüfern verstehen wir uns als ein führender Anbieter von Beratungsdienstleistungen für Energie- und Infrastrukturunternehmen und deren Kunden. Weitere Schwerpunkte bilden das Medien- und Urheberrecht, die Steuerberatung und Wirtschaftsprüfung, das allgemeine Zivil- und Wirtschaftsrecht und das gesamte öffentliche Recht.

Unsere Mandanten dürfen von uns eine praxis- und erfolgsorientierte Beratung auf höchstem Niveau erwarten. Voraussetzung dafür ist - neben einer kontinuierlichen und sorgfältigen Ausbildung, auf die wir größten Wert legen - eine große inhaltliche Nähe zu unseren Mandanten ebenso wie eine intensive Kenntnis der Positionen der Entscheidungsträger aus Politik, Verwaltung und Verbänden.

Kennzeichnend für uns ist ein grundsätzlich interdisziplinärer Beratungsansatz: Rechtsanwälte, Wirtschaftsprüfer, Steuerberater und bei Bedarf Ingenieure arbeiten zusammen. Denn unser Ziel ist es nicht, isolierte Rechtsfragen zu lösen, sondern die dahinter liegenden wirtschaftlichen Zusammenhänge aufzuklären und so langfristige Lösungen zu schaffen.
