The following information has been compiled with great professional care according to the rules and regulations in force in Germany at the time of publication in the Internet. I have chosen the topics and a varying degree of detail partly from the questions my foreign clients have asked me, partly from the necessity to give background information for ease of understanding, and partly from what I believe should have been asked, prior to taking up residence in Germany. However, all the information is intended for a general overview, only, as printed company brochures have done in the past, and cannot be regarded as a legal opinion on your individual situation.
In any case, failing an amicable settlement, the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany are applicable on each dispute which shall be decided by the competent courts of the Federal Republic of Germany.
