SERVICES

We provide a wide range of legal services tailored to the needs of international businesses. We assist in every corporate matter, from choosing the appropriate form for a business to heavily negotiated mergers, acquisitions and dispositions. We advise on a broad array of tax law matters and closely collaborate with trusted US and international accounting and tax experts (e.g., German Wirtschaftsprüfer) for the implementation of tax-efficient structures. We also represent clients in negotiating the terms of commercial contracts (including supply, distribution, sales agency, financing, leasing arrangements and employee handbooks). We draw up executive employment agreements and handle related matters. We advise on intellectual property issues and represent businesses, executives and investors in visa applications before US immigration authorities. We collaborate with external specialists for the registration of intellectual property rights, and we advise on licensing arrangements, including relating to patents, trademarks and copyrights. At clients' request, we act as outside US general counsel and address ongoing commercial and corporate housekeeping matters as well as regulatory compliance. We protect and manage clients' interests in cross-border and domestic litigation, arbitration and alternative dispute resolution.
