Christian Feierabend

Attorney at Law | Expert for international Business Law

Attorney Christian Feierabend primarily works on mandates in the areas of internationalization, market entry and international distribution. In distribution law, he focuses on commercial agents, authorized dealers, franchising and the review and drafting of distribution agreements. In addition, his day-to-day business includes mandates in the areas of market entry, international sale of goods (in particular within the scope of the CISG), protection of innovation (in particular intangible property rights and license agreements), commercial and corporate law, including company formations, spin-offs and structural measures relevant to corporate law.

Christian Feierabend has been advising founders, start-ups and young companies for many years. His support for founders and founding teams starts before the actual founding of the company and prepares it efficiently. Typical topics here are usually the development of a legal framework for the founding team as well as the structuring of the project with regard to key resources, property rights and the preparation for the subsequent implementation of financing rounds. After the foundation, the focus shifts to aspects of corporate development and financing, for example through the participation of investors, sale of company shares, implementation of capital measures such as capital increases, exit planning and exit realization for founders, employee participation (ESOP, VSOP, etc.) and protection of innovation in the company.

In addition to handling mandates from a legal perspective, Christian Feierabend is also available as a coach for suitable start-up projects as part of the pre-start-up coaching support program of the state of Berlin.
