The natural consequence of the international focus of many of our lawyers is that we also have many years of experience in providing advice to foreign investors in Germany.
Our teams of specialists provide comprehensive advice on all legal aspects of doing business in Germany, and tailor that advice to the particular needs of our foreign clients.
We have access to networks, commercial contacts and decision makers in local administrations, as well as to national and regional investment agencies. This can facilitate market entry for foreign companies and help them build up their commercial presence in Germany.
Our multidisciplinary, full-service approach allows us to assist with legal, tax and economic topics in a well-coordinated team of legal experts from all areas of law, our own tax advisers and the experts from our cooperation partner, BBWP GmbH Wirschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft (accountants and auditors).
When advising a foreign investor, we believe it is very important and beneficial for our team to include lawyers and experts, who know the investor’s home market and its legal system and speak the national language fluently. That is why, for example, lawyers who have worked in our office in China (Beijing) for a longer period of time, will generally advise companies from this specific country.
In this regard, for certain countries and regions, we have set up special focus centres, or "desks", such as Spanish Desk for Spanish-German commercial relations and a US Desk for clients from the USA and for American-German commercial relations, which draws on more than 25 years of ties between our lawyers and colleagues in the USA.
