International law
We understand your position in global competition and its challenges. Our experts in international law have more than 25 years of experience, both in handling complex international transactions and in representing clients in complex cross-border proceedings before courts and arbitration tribunals. We support clients not only in Germany, but also – and especially – abroad. We are specialists for international business law. Aside from German, we speak English, French, Spanish, Polish, and Greek.
Our offices in Germany and Paris (France) are designed to meet the international needs of our German and foreign clients.
For legal issues outside of Germany or France, we can rely on our partners within the international network PANGEA NET (www.pangea-net.org) or on our foreign contacts, some of whom we have collaborated with for decades. As a founding member of PANGEA NET, we are perfectly positioned to solve the tasks at hand in our clients' best interest through high-quality services which are developed in cooperation with our cooperating law firms from PANGEA NET. This allows us to support you comprehensively and across all regions in your international activities.
