Cross-border corporate structuring and employee deployment
In times of globalisation, companies increasingly operate across borders - be it by establishing a foreign location (outbound case), setting up a German entity for foreign companies (inbound case), by deploying employees or by generating foreign income. Cross-border entrepreneurial activity leads to points of contact with legal systems in a wide variety of countries as well as disputes with various international authorities. Even though internationalisation offers many opportunities for companies, it also leads to an increased complexity of circumstances and their legal treatment. All your entrepreneurial globalisation steps therefore require optimal (tax) legal advice. We can provide you with comprehensive and individual advice in this complex field due to our dual qualification as lawyers and tax advisers and with the help of our foreign partner law firms in 153 countries.
