The JUVE editorial team has once again ranked GLNS as one of Germany’s leading law firms in the areas of corporate law, M&A, private equity, and venture capital, and as one of the leading law firms in southern Germany overall.

GLNS Rechtsanwälte Steuerberater has advised Munich-based COBY GmbH on a financing round structured as a convertible loan.

COBY is developing a screen-free, AI-powered companion for children, complemented by an app for parents. The concept is designed to provide children with a safe environment for independent interaction, while allowing parents to stay involved and set age-appropriate boundaries.

GLNS has advised COBY and its founder David since the company’s incorporation and has continued to support the team throughout its corporate and entrepreneurial development.

In collaboration with Julia Bandov’s DigitsUp Initiative and JUNE MINDS, GLNS organized a new, interactive event format in Munich on July 8, 2026, designed to give participants a clear and practical understanding of the opportunities and ways to get started with business angel investing in German startups.

The event brought together investors, founders, and an engaged audience to explore early-stage investments not only from a theoretical perspective but also to make them tangible through concrete examples.
