International Legal Relations

All of us – global corporations, medium-sized or large businesses and private individuals alike – are in some way linked to legal relations beyond national borders. Wherever peoples and continents meet, the native and therefore more familiar legal sphere ends where the next border begins. Even politically and economically close countries such as Germany and the United States differ dramatically in their laws and legal principles.

From these differences spring an abundance of problems. In this respect, our German and foreign clients rely on us for competent counsel – both professional and linguistic. An ability to empathize with the national cultural surroundings and mindset is often especially important for our foreign clients. To provide assistance in foreign jurisdictions, we rely on close and proven contacts to experienced colleagues in all key countries, each of whom is committed to the same quality standards as ours. At the same time, we remain our clients’ primary contacts, in an effort to minimize legal, linguistic, and cultural obstacles.
