Cross-Border Matters Require More Than Legal Advice
International matters often involve several areas of law and jurisdictions at the same time.
An investment or business activity in Germany may, for example, involve corporate, tax, employment, and immigration law issues at the same time. International disputes may additionally involve different jurisdictions, applicable laws, and questions concerning recognition and enforcement.
That is why Schlun & Elseven takes an integrated approach. Within our firm, we assemble the right team for the matter. Where foreign law is involved, we bring in specialized lawyers in the relevant jurisdiction and coordinate their work centrally.
