International lawyer, Munich – We are your specialists

Our focuses as lawyers in the field of International Law – especially in the MENA states and bordering countries International law – your law in good hands

Examples

Two processes overlap, the development of which is determined in cooperation with the MENA states, in particular:

The accelerated internationalisation of the economy which is the driving force of growth worldwide and the simultaneous transformation of structures in the MENA states. This requires a double adjustment by the economic operators. The MENA states must undertake their complicated reforms and the tendency for privatisation and the market economy with the additional pressure of quickly increasing global economic competition. And vice versa cross-border investments by significant companies in each individual country must contend with very different reform speeds, transforming infrastructures and unfamiliar cultural factors. The selection of location is accordingly complex. Legal and strategic consultancy in this field must therefore fulfil a truly multicultural bridging function in future more than ever. And, very differently from customary domestic economy legal advice in the West, it needs to help companies and institutions to reduce structural uncertainties and to foster relationships based on mutual trust despite the extraordinarily different states of development.

International law – your rights in good hands

Cooperation with colleagues in the Emirates, MENA and GCC states has been extended. Eastern Europe remains another focus of consultancy and representation and medium-sized companies in particular have been successful here since 1991.

However, Legal Alliance will achieve more in future than “merely” legal caretaking. In general, the self-image in the legal profession has experienced a considerable change in recent years. We do not “merely” view ourselves as legal service providers. The business lawyer is also sought after as a networker who is helpful in establishing business contacts.

And precisely this is an important objective of our “of counsel” network. We bring companies together – both nationally and internationally – via our “of counsel” colleagues. Those who want to benefit from the advantages of a global economy (e.g. awarding of licensing or sales laws, search / offers in the fields of joint venture, real estate, company purchases, venture capital).

In past years, LEGAL ALLIANCE lawyers have been involved in multiple significant and also international transactions with their offer of legal services.
