While it is already possible to fall back on harmonised cross-border regulations in many areas of the law in the EU, otherwise there are frequent collisions between the different private law systems. The choice of the applicable legal system and the responsible court ensure an optimal structuring of your cross-border business activities. With our many years of expertise, we can advise you in detail and comprehensively on complex international arrangements, on international supply contracts and contracts for work and services, on international distribution law and international commercial agency law, on export financing issues and on international corporate law matters. In addition, our lawyers also take on the task of recovering claims across borders.<\/p>\n<p>We see it as our task to clarify in advance the legal framework conditions of your investments abroad, whereby we work together with our colleagues in law firms in the most important industrialised countries. We support our national and international clients in establishing a business presence in the respective foreign market, whether in the form of a branch office or via commercial agents or authorised dealers (joint venture\/internet-based foreign sales). After the successful establishment, we can continue to support your foreign activities, for example if contracts between related companies (intercompany contracts) are to be drawn up or if further expansions and cooperations are to take place.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Other important domains<\/strong> <strong>in the advisory field of <\/strong><strong>&#8220;International Commercial Law&#8221;:<br \/>\n<\/strong>European law and conflict of laws<br \/>\nDrafting of contracts, in particular distribution contracts, supply contracts and contracts for work and services<br \/>\nAdvisory services on money laundering issues<br \/>\nContract management, product conformity and product liability<br \/>\nState aid and public procurement law<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 55px;\">Complementary fields of advice:<\/h3>\n<h4 style=\"padding-left: 55px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/map-rechtsanwaelte.de\/en\/advisory-fields\/#commercial-and-corporate-law\"><strong>Commercial and corporate law <\/strong><\/a><\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"padding-left: 55px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/map-rechtsanwaelte.de\/en\/advisory-fields\/#start-ups\"><strong>Start-ups<\/strong><\/a><\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"padding-left: 55px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/map-rechtsanwaelte.de\/en\/advisory-fields\/#compliance-and-data-protection\"><strong>Compliance and data protection<\/strong><\/a><\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Start-ups&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;start-ups&#8221;][vc_column_text]Starting a business is a challenging time when you need good, efficient advisors who know what legal challenges you will face.
