    International Briefing June 2025


    Dear Friends and Colleagues,

    welcome to the June issue of ADVANT Beiten's International Briefing.

    Germany remains one of the world’s most attractive destinations for foreign direct investments. This reputation is well-deserved, as the country offers a stable legal environment, a highly skilled workforce, and a dynamic industrial landscape, all of which create a robust foundation for successful business ventures. In ADVANT Beiten's newly released guide "Investing in Germany" our experts provide a comprehensive overview of the legal framework for foreign investments in Germany - practical, understandable and with extensive experience in the field of foreign direct investments.

    This year our Beijing office proudly celebrates its 30th anniversary. We are delighted to share with you an insightful interview with our Beijing team of Susanne Rademacher, Dr Jenna Wang-Metzner, and Lelu Li, highlighting their dedication and three decades expertise in the field of the inbound and outbound investments in China.

    In this issue we will also highlight interesting developments in the European and German legal landscape, invite you to meet us at international events, and tell you about our recent deals.

    You can find the newsletter by clicking here.

    Kind regards,

    Dr Barbara Mayer
