Customs & trade regulations

Following Brexit, trade relations between the UK and the EU, including Germany, have changed. A thorough understanding of current customs regulations, trade agreements and regulatory requirements is essential to ensure the smooth exchange of goods and services.

Tax & financial advice

Taxation and financial aspects play a central role in international investments and business activities. Get advice on tax requirements and financing options in both countries to organise your international activities efficiently.

Market entry & expansion

Companies looking to expand to Germany or the UK need to develop careful market entry strategies. This includes selecting the appropriate business model and analysing market conditions, competitive landscape and cultural differences.

Foreign direct investment (FDI)

Companies from Germany and the UK can benefit from FDI by gaining market access, resources and new business opportunities in each other's markets.

Law & Contracts

The legal framework for direct investment and trade is vitally important. This includes issues concerning company formation, contract law and legal conflict resolution mechanisms.
