Lawyer in German-American law: With a total goods trade volume of 188 billion US dollars, Germany is the fifth largest trading partner of the USA. The U.S. market is even the most important foreign sales market of all for German companies.

The contracts underlying the commercial transactions are drawn up in English. The contracts are often governed by the law of a US state. Practice often shows that there are various sources of error in the drafting of contracts, which can lead to considerable risks for companies. 

Careful, forward-looking and legally secure contract drafting is indispensable in order to minimize (liability) risks, save costs and - what is at least as important - maintain good contractual relations with one's contractual partners. This is especially true if the contracts are to be negotiated and drafted in English. Mistakes in the drafting of contracts can be costly.

Since our attorneys are admitted to practice in both Germany and the U.S. state of California and are therefore at home in common law and civil law, we can help you minimize (liability) risks.
