Global Law Experts is pleased to welcome Kerstin Weidenbach-Koschnike of ACCONSIS as an Exclusive Member. Her appointment recognizes a professional profile built on multidisciplinary advisory work in corporate finance, international tax, and cryptocurrency and blockchain matters across Germany.

Based in Munich, Kerstin Weidenbach-Koschnike serves as a senior advisor and managing director at ACCONSIS. Her practice sits at the intersection of law, tax, accounting, and finance, bringing together the technical depth needed for regulated and reporting heavy transactions and the practical experience required to make advice implementable. She holds a Diplom Kauffrau qualification, along with professional credentials as a Wirtschaftsprüferin and Steuerberaterin. This combination supports an approach that prioritizes precision, regulatory awareness, and solutions that can be executed with confidence. Rather than offering isolated legal or tax input, she advises clients seeking integrated guidance that supports deal execution, reporting, compliance, and strategic planning across jurisdictions and industries.

In the area of corporate finance in Germany, Kerstin Weidenbach Koschnike advises on financing structures, accounting questions, consolidation, valuation sensitive matters, tax efficient capital measures, and investor reporting. Her work is particularly relevant for owner managed Mittelstand companies, international groups setting up German operations, startups looking for institutional funding, and family offices that need coordinated accounting, tax, and financing support. She has experience across buy outs, initial consolidations, cross border reorganisations, and financing transactions, with a focus on aligning accounting, tax, and regulatory elements with the legal and commercial terms of a deal. Her background in auditing and tax further strengthens her ability to support transaction choices where the most important factor is not only correctness, but also defensibility, audit readiness, and compliance alignment.

Her corporate finance advisory also reflects a clear understanding of the pressures shaping German business today. The underlying research highlights the growing impact of regulatory and reporting requirements, including EU sustainability and disclosure developments, national supply chain obligations, intensified tax enforcement, and higher audit expectations. In this environment, Kerstin Weidenbach Koschnike helps clients design financing and corporate structures that remain commercially effective while also being workable from an accounting and compliance standpoint. This balance makes her an excellent fit for a global legal network like Global Law Experts, which prioritizes advisers who can manage cross border complexity and coordinate effectively with legal counsel and other professional stakeholders.

Kerstin Weidenbach Koschnike’s international tax practice in Germany focuses on cross border planning and compliance, reporting, transfer pricing, inbound investment, and the taxation of digital assets. She advises both companies expanding into or operating from Germany and private clients working with international structures. Her experience includes supporting startups and established groups with tax efficient operating models and cross border reorganisations, particularly where German domestic rules interact with EU requirements and broader global tax initiatives. This kind of work aligns strongly with Global Law Experts’ standards, as it requires not only technical expertise, but also the ability to translate complex rules into practical, client ready guidance amid multiple reporting and compliance obligations.

Her international tax profile is strengthened by her dual qualification as an auditor and a tax adviser. This is especially valuable in scenarios where tax positions influence accounting outcomes and statutory reporting, including tax audits, filings, and cross border transaction planning. She also leads ACCONSIS’s international desk and coordinates multidisciplinary teams for international groups, reflecting the collaborative model that is often essential for successful international tax advice. She additionally advises on digital assets, including cryptocurrencies, NFTs, and tokenised assets, making her particularly relevant for clients navigating fast moving developments in tax law. Global Law Experts values advisers who can address emerging issues without losing sight of established compliance requirements, and her profile demonstrates that blend in practice.

Her thought leadership further supports the significance of her appointment. She is described as an active contributor to practitioner literature and technical commentary, including work on the tax and accounting treatment of cryptocurrencies and NFTs. She has also provided case based guidance on internally developed software and speaks at professional events on crypto assets and taxation. For an international legal network, this public facing expertise matters, as exclusive members are expected to contribute not only through client delivery, but also through shaping professional understanding within their fields.

Kerstin Weidenbach Koschnike’s cryptocurrency and blockchain practice is another major part of her profile in Germany. She is recognized for advising on the full lifecycle of crypto related projects, from pre launch structuring and token classification to accounting and tax treatment, custody models, cross border VAT and transfer pricing implications, and regulatory authorization planning for service providers. She works with founders, fintech companies, custody providers, family offices, technology startups, and established businesses exploring tokenisation. She also supports NFT projects, including documentation for airdrops and crypto rewards. This end to end capability fits Global Law Experts’ membership standards, particularly where clients need more than general analysis and require guidance that connects legal classification, fiscal consequences, and operational controls.

This practice is grounded in the same multidisciplinary foundation that defines her other work. Her audit background helps clients adopt accounting treatments that are defensible and capable of standing up to scrutiny. Her tax qualification enables her to address the structuring of blockchain native business models across jurisdictions. At ACCONSIS, she is supported by leadership resources that integrate tax, audit, legal, and consulting capabilities, which is particularly important in a sector where regulatory expectations and accounting questions can change quickly. Her advisory style is described as pragmatic and focused on implementation, with an emphasis on building roadmaps that align regulatory, audit, and tax objectives. That approach matches the expectations of Global Law Experts, where clients want sophisticated advice that can be implemented in real world business settings.

The research also underlines the importance of the German regulatory landscape for crypto assets, including the need for authorization planning, governance documentation, and compliance systems for firms offering custody, trading, or issuance services. In response, Kerstin Weidenbach Koschnike advises on legal classification, governance arrangements, valuation and accounting policies, and tax documentation for transfers, gifts, and airdrops. Her work helps clients reduce the risk of retrospective recharacterization and compliance failures by addressing issues early and comprehensively. This is exactly the type of practice Global Law Experts seeks in an exclusive member: technically rigorous, commercially aware, and able to guide clients through an evolving regulatory environment with clarity and confidence.

Across corporate finance, international tax, and cryptocurrency and blockchain, Kerstin Weidenbach Koschnike stands out for a consistent advisory style. She operates at the intersection of finance, tax, audit, and regulation, focusing on practical solutions for businesses and private clients facing complex and often cross border challenges. Whether the matter involves deal structures, international tax planning, or digital asset compliance, her work reflects careful attention to accounting consequences, tax exposure, compliance requirements, and implementation strategy. She also brings a clear client focus that includes startups, Mittelstand companies, international groups, family offices, fintechs, and private clients with cross border or digital asset interests.

Global Law Experts welcomes Kerstin Weidenbach Koschnike as an Exclusive Member in recognition of her distinctive cross disciplinary practice. Her appointment adds to the network an adviser whose work is rooted in technical qualifications, shaped by hands on experience, and directly relevant to clients operating in some of the most complex and fast changing areas of the German market.
