German-French market

Through the association with the law firm Wenner, klein•wenner can look back on more than 50 years of activity in the German-French legal market.

Since its foundation, our firm has distinguished itself as a reliable partner of German/Austrian or Swiss businesses in the French market. We have been working for many of our German-speaking clients for a very long time. For some of them, we act as legal advisors in France, in the absence of or in addition to their own in-house legal department. We work closely with accountants, tax advisors and notaries whose activities, like ours, are strongly influenced by relations with German-speaking countries.

Our expertise covers in particular the areas of corporate law, corporate and M&A, distribution law, employment law as well as all matters of national and international litigation.

In addition, we have developed expertise in construction law, commercial criminal law and renewable energy law.

Moreover, our firm has always worked very closely and continuously with partners all over Germany, notably with the Brandi law firm, with whom we have a long-standing relationship, Austria, Switzerland and Italy. We regularly organize and participate in Franco-German seminars where we exchange and share our experience with numerous professionals.

French companies recognize our law firm as a reliable partner who provides them with high-quality support for their investment projects in Germany.

In addition to the expertise of its lawyers admitted to the French and German Bars, our team has a unique insight into intercultural issues and different working methods, which enables us to clearly understand our clients’ needs, advise them in their mother tongue and, where appropriate, highlight the differences between legal systems in order to support them in their strategies.

Our highly qualified, multilingual team also ensures the accuracy of the translations of the legal documents concerned.

We are proud to maintain and constantly develop our role as trusted lawyers for our clients, initiated by Wolfgang WENNER, who put his multilingualism and his perfect knowledge of French and German legislation at the service of businesses.
