French
Desk

For all inbound and outbound activities we cooperate with our French partner law firm Fidal, with whom we founded the global organisation unyer.

In unyer our know-how for your business activities in France or, if you are a French company, in the German market is combined. In the event that you plan to expand into the Asian market, our colleagues from our French Desk in Singapore will be happy to advise you.

Whether in Europe or in Asia: we provide you with individual, target-oriented expert advice if you intend to enter the market of the respective other country or region, or if you already operate there and need legal expertise. We always place our advisory services within the economic, political and cultural overall context. In addition, we also take into account the specifics of your company and of the sector in which you operate.

You can rely on our professional expertise, our many years of experience and an excellent network with which we regularly exchange professional information. We can advise you when you are looking for a suitable law firm in France and subsequently assist you jointly with that law firm with your local projects and business activities.

In the same manner, we advise French companies in the German market: in addition to providing project management services and assisting you with your market entry, we are also a competent partner in all other phases of your business cycle. Working with you and our French partner law firms, we find the best possible solution for your specific project.
