French German group

On this page
    • On this page

    With respect to complex cross-border projects we provide our expertise to German companies in France, French companies in Germany as well as to German-French companies worldwide.


    In addition to providing legal advice in both jurisdictions, we represent enterprises both before ordinary courts in Germany and France and in arbitration proceedings according to various arbitration rules. Our international presence is reinforced through a network of excellent collaborations with other law firms with which we have successfully worked together on cross-border projects for many years.

    Since the opening of our office in Paris in 2005 with more than 70 attorneys-at-law, Taylor Wessing has consistently pursued the formation of a French-German group, with currently more than 35 German attorneys-at-law and French avocats. Our French-German group is characterized by its high-level professional expertise in German-French consultancy projects.

    We are familiar with both the cultural practices and the judicial characteristics in German and French law. Within the different practice groups at Taylor Wessing, our French-German group advices our clients in three languages (German, French and English), both in Germany and in France.

    We are convinced that you will also benefit from the experience, passion and competence of our French-German group.
