Germany has been the largest EU trading partner of the UK for many years. Business investment between the two countries remains strong and healthy and has often been extremely high profile. Creating a synergy between British and German entrepreneurship and maximising business success requires companies to fit different pieces of the jigsaw together to create the full picture. Needless to say, this includes well informed and commercially focused financial and legal advice from proven experts in their field. Our experience tells us that an integral part of the effective provision of legal services is the need to be totally familiar with the commercial, cultural and key legal differences (and similarities!) in both countries.
The Cobbetts team of German solicitors not only consists of dual-qualified solicitors, who have both experience and a proven track record in dealing with English and German legal issues, but of native Germans or lawyers who have worked in Germany. We therefore understand the German way of doing business.
Our Expertise
Mark Green, the Honorary Consul of the Federal Republic of Germany in the North of England (other than Liverpool and Hull) and Chairman of the German-British Chamber of Commerce in Northern England, is a highly regarded English and German solicitor.
Jan Becher is an experienced property and commercial lawyer who has worked in Germany and in the international arena for many years.
Their expertise and the support of six other German and German speaking solicitors gives us the extra edge that we believe is necessary when clients are involved in cross border dealings. We are confident that you will be impressed by the high standard of technical quality and client service that our German solicitors have to offer.
The German Team is also the only legal entity in the UK working on the acquisition of German properties. We prepare the due diligence, the conveyancing and the banking work on German properties, all from the UK and offer our knowledge of the local market to the international investor.
