With more than 25 years' experience in corporate law, my clients appreciate me as a seasoned transaction lawyer who guides them through the shallow waters of any transaction without bothering them with every legal detail. This long and diverse experience as a lawyer also helps me with the strategic (re)-alignment of our international Corporate Group, which I head. Moreover, I am operating as Head of Germany since 2022.

Germany is a leading investment location with the biggest market in Europe.

Bank accounts may be held in any foreign currency. There are no general laws governing the set-up of a German legal entity by a foreign company. In addition, Germany has access to European markets, a highly qualified labour force and outstanding technological know-how.  It is also a world leader in the manufacturing industry, producing high level and top-quality industrial production.  Overall, Germany has economic and political stability as well as a reliable legal framework, creating a highly attractive business environment.
