history

At the beginning of the 1970s, Franz-Josef Wernze and Klaus F. K. Schmidt joined forces to practice their profession as tax consultants. They quickly realized that the clients' need for advice was not limited to tax issues. The vision of a holistic law firm concept was born, which should enable tax, economic and legal advice from a single source. Franz-Josef Wernze continued this business idea in the following years and developed a group of companies that has been run under the "ETL" brand since 1995.
