Sicherheit für Ihre Entscheidungen

Die europäische Einigung, die Globalisierung und die exponentielle Entwicklung der Informationsgesellschaft verändern Märkte, Produkte und Anforderungen an Dienstleistungen in einem bisher nicht gekannten Tempo. Entscheidungsprozesse werden komplexer und ihre Regeln immer kurzlebiger. Unternehmen, Verwaltungen und andere Organisationen müssen sich ständig neu orientieren. Auch in ihren Vermögensdispositionen haben unsere Mandanten Entscheidungen zu treffen, die den geänderten steuerlichen und wirtschaftlichen Rahmenbedingungen Rechnung zu tragen haben.

disposition of property (or assets)


Explanation:
...or "property (or asset) arrangements"

I base this suggestion on the third definition below:
"disposition

• noun 1 a person’s inherent qualities of character. 2 an inclination or tendency. 3 the action or result of arranging people or things in a particular way."

Vermögen = property or assets
