German Corporate Law
Consultations in German corporate law, in your language and your culture
Do you have a project or business activity in Germany? The members of BMH AVOCATS are trained in German and French law, and many of them have a double competence as Rechtsanwalt and Avocat au Barreau de Paris.
BMH AVOCATS supports its clients in their projects across the Rhine. From Paris, we offer a convenient “single window” that takes into account cultural specificities and responds to demands relating to German corporate law. When necessary, we work in conjunction with independent partner firms in Germany with which we have cooperated for many years.
In addition to our commitment to Franco-German relations as part of our consultancy activities, we are very active in the circle of Franco-German associations (DAV Frankreich, ACE, Commission juridique de la Chambre de commerce franco-allemande, Club Economique franco-allemand) in which we intervene regularly. We are also engaged in a Franco-German double training programme offered between the Universités de Paris I and the University of Cologne, one of the directors of which is Of Counsel of BMH AVOCATS.
