Client groups at a glance
We advise companies and private clients in Hamburg with a focus on business law and residence law — from GmbH formation and the EU Blue Card to termination agreements. The common thread is one consistent point of contact who handles the mandate throughout.
Entrepreneurs & Founders
We support formations, structure corporate relationships, and advise on ongoing business legal matters — for domestic entrepreneurs as well as foreign shareholders and investors setting up a GmbH in Germany.
- GmbH formation and corporate law from articles of association to registration.
- Residence permits for entrepreneurs and investors under § 21 AufenthG assessed individually.
- Contract law and cooperation agreements drafted for practical use.
Start-ups
Early-stage legal matters — shareholder structure, founder agreements, equity participation — require precision before the first capital flows. We advise start-ups in the formation phase, including founders coming from abroad who also need a residence permit.
- Shareholders’ agreements and founder agreements structured from the outset.
- GmbH structure for international founders clarified including corporate obligations.
- Business immigration for founders combined with corporate law advisory.
International Companies
Companies from abroad entering the German market face several parallel decisions — legal form, location, staff secondment, contract law. We accompany this market entry from one source, in German and English.
- Market entry and subsidiary in Germany structured with legal certainty.
- Staff secondment and residence law coordinated within the corporate framework.
- International contracts reviewed and drafted under German law.
Employers
Employment law advisory for employers covers two tracks: classic employment law — contracts, terminations, termination agreements — and the employment of foreign skilled workers with all residence law requirements. We handle both from one mandate.
- Skilled worker immigration and residence permits for new employees assessed and accompanied.
- Employment contracts, warning letters and terminations also for purely domestic employers.
- Fast-track procedure under § 81a AufenthG coordinated with the authority.
Executives & Skilled Workers
For managing directors and qualified skilled workers from abroad, residence law, employment law and — for GmbH directors — corporate law interact. We advise on all three areas without clients having to switch between different lawyers.
- Residence permit as managing director assessed according to role — employed, organ member or entrepreneurially involved.
- EU Blue Card and skilled worker status accompanied from application to settlement permit.
- Corporate position of the GmbH managing director clarified in parallel.
Private Clients
We advise private clients in selected areas where an international dimension, multilingual access, or a particular situation makes a difference: residence law, family reunification, employment disputes, and civil contract matters.
- Residence law and family reunification accompanied from application to settlement permit.
- Employment law for employees — termination, termination agreement, severance — also in English.
- Civil disputes with a cross-border element accompanied practically.
