Welcome to Germany! Europe’s largest market shares borders with France, Belgium and Switzerland and offers diverse opportunities to companies and investors from these countries. The German economy is modern and dynamic, the framework conditions are stable and reliable, and business is booming for small and medium-sized companies.
Our French Desk offers comprehensive consultation on all legal issues related to entry into the German market and your company’s ongoing business activities in Germany. The attorneys that make up our French Desk are German and French nationals and admitted to practice in Germany as rechtsanwälte and, in part, in France as avocats à la cour.
We have over 20 years of specialized experience in providing legal support to companies from France, Benelux and other French-speaking countries on matters of German commercial law. We understand your questions and concerns because we have first-hand knowledge of your national context as well as of the German rules, regulations and mechanisms. As a result, we can present you with ways, means and alternatives that your domestic legal system does not provide for – and we can do so in your native French or German, as well as in English or Dutch. If you desire to enter into the French-speaking market, our long-standing collaborations with specialized partner law firms in each of the relevant countries allow us to provide you with legal advice tailored to your specific needs.
