International know-how: legal certainty worldwide
International legal advice from Dortmund for well-founded support
Anyone in Dortmund wishing to clarify legal questions with a foreign connection will find a reliable point of contact with us. Our lawyers support private individuals as well as companies when matters concern several countries and different sets of rules interact. This is not just about individual cases, but often about long-term projects – for example when building international business relationships or in family situations across borders.
In terms of content, we cover numerous areas: from inheritance law through corporate law to real estate law, family law and business law. Instead of standard solutions, you receive an approach that fits your starting situation and keeps the practical goals in view. Especially in cases with a foreign dimension, a clear structure is decisive, so that deadlines, jurisdictions and requirements are properly coordinated.
So that we remain able to act even with cross-border matters, we draw on a robust network of international contacts.

International contract drafting in Dortmund
Contracts with an international dimension—legal support with review, drafting, and implementation
Anyone concluding business across national borders needs clear agreements and contract drafting that holds up in different countries. In Dortmund, our lawyers support you in drafting agreements so that they fit your processes while also taking the conditions of different legal systems into account. This includes ensuring that key points such as delivery and payment terms, liability questions and provisions on the competent court are properly structured and clearly worded from the outset.
In cross-border trade, small ambiguities can quickly lead to major conflicts. It is therefore worth identifying potential pitfalls early and safeguarding against them with suitable clauses. The UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) and rules of private international law often play a key role when goods or services are exchanged between countries. Our lawyers in Dortmund review existing contract documents, revise content where needed and ensure that international requirements are comprehensibly integrated into your documents.
From deciding which law should apply to drafting individual contract clauses, you receive continuous support in Dortmund. This creates a reliable foundation for cooperation, supply chains and new markets – so that your activities remain plannable at the international level and are clearly protected contractually.

Dispute resolution and international representation
Effective representation in international disputes in Dortmund
Anyone in Dortmund looking for support in demanding proceedings will find reliable support from our lawyers – from the initial conversation through to conclusion. This concerns not only appearances before courts or arbitration bodies at home and abroad, but equally practicable settlements outside of proceedings. Especially in cross-border situations, careful coordination, clear communication and clean organization matter.
The focus is always on your specific matter: we take the time to grasp the decisive details, recognize particularities and plan the next steps accordingly. Even where several countries, different customs and various conditions play a role, we keep all relevant points in view. Through ongoing cooperation with lawyers abroad, procedures can be coordinated, information efficiently pooled and necessary measures initiated without detours – an advantage that is especially noticeable with complex matters in Dortmund.
Our lawyers in Dortmund act with commitment and a clear goal in mind. You receive support based on experience, precision and consistent representation of interests – so that your proceedings can be advanced in a structured way and brought to a robust result.
Corporate law with an international dimension
Support in Dortmund with restructurings and formations with an international dimension
International projects require careful planning – especially when company assets, holdings or new entities are to be spread across several countries. Our lawyers support companies in Dortmund in building, adjusting or expanding structures without losing sight of formal requirements. So that economic goals and framework conditions work together coherently, we work closely with tax advisors and finance professionals and precisely coordinate the individual steps.
Whether you want to establish a new company abroad, restructure existing holdings, or implement a reorganization with an international dimension: our lawyers in Dortmund support you from concept through to execution. We make sure that all relevant requirements are met and that decisions remain viable in the long term. The focus is on solutions that are both financially sensible and reliably structured – with a clear eye on the future development of your company.
From numerous projects with a cross-border dimension, we know where typical pitfalls can arise. That is why we identify potential areas of conflict early and develop tailored approaches for your specific project. This allows international plans to be realized promptly and put on a permanently stable footing – with support from Dortmund that fits seamlessly into your processes.
Inheritance law and estate planning across borders
Cross-border estate planning and estate administration—we help you in Dortmund
When it comes to an estate spanning several countries, clear procedures and reliable coordination are decisive. In Dortmund, lawyers are available to you who approach such cross-border inheritance matters in a structured way and explain the next steps comprehensibly. Especially when accounts, real estate or holdings are located in different countries, a seemingly simple situation can quickly turn into a complex task – for example due to differing formal requirements, jurisdictions or deadlines.
Our lawyers in Dortmund support you in properly preparing documents and declarations, coordinating the handling process and compiling the necessary documents to fit the respective country. Whether it concerns the validity of a will outside Germany or coordination with foreign authorities, we keep the relevant requirements of the countries involved in view. We rely on comprehensible steps, regular feedback and communication that leads to results without detours.
If you are looking for support with international inheritance matters in Dortmund, our lawyers help you from the first orientation discussion through to orderly implementation – with the aim of consistently taking your concerns into account and reliably meeting the requirements.
Employment law matters in an international context
Legal advice on secondments and cross-border employment
Any company in Dortmund wishing to temporarily post staff abroad must clarify many points early – from internal procedures to requirements in the host country. Our lawyers support you throughout: we get involved already at the concept stage, review the requirements, and then support practical implementation so that your goals are properly realized.
The focus is often on the appropriate contract drafting. Depending on the destination country, different rules apply that directly affect working conditions, remuneration, duration of assignment or return arrangements. Our lawyers in Dortmund draft and review posting agreements so that they fit your company while also taking local requirements into account. This significantly reduces unnecessary conflicts as well as avoidable liability and cost risks.
Equally important are matters running alongside the employment relationship: tax obligations abroad, questions of social security, and possible reporting or documentation requirements. We also consider how the foreign assignment affects existing employment relationships in Dortmund, for example regarding side agreements, rest periods or internal company rules. With a structured overall review, you receive a reliable basis for planning and safely organizing international projects.
Real estate law in an international environment
Support in Dortmund with international transactions and dealings with authorities
International projects involving land and buildings quickly bring with them a great deal of coordination – especially when several countries are involved. If you want to act as a foreign investor in Dortmund, plan to buy or sell an apartment or house across the border, or need to clarify ownership questions across different countries, our lawyers support you from the first step through to implementation. On request, we also handle communication with competent authorities and ensure that procedures remain clearly structured.
The focus is on forward-looking planning that takes into account differences between national sets of rules and properly classifies their interplay in cross-border situations. This allows risks to be identified early, documents properly drafted and deadlines reliably met. The aim is implementation that is coherent both in Dortmund and in the respective foreign country – without unnecessary friction and with an eye for the details that are decisive in international real estate transactions.
Even where matters become extensive, we place value on comprehensible steps and a clear presentation. Precision matters especially in transactions with a foreign connection: our lawyers in Dortmund are your fixed points of contact, pooling information and helping to keep your project plannable and progressing promptly.
Safeguard commercial activity internationally
Contract and compliance advice in international trade
Anyone wishing to build or expand international business relationships needs contracts that grow with the business and do not reveal risks only after the fact. This is exactly where our lawyers in Dortmund come in: we review existing agreements, revise clauses and develop contract documents so that potential liability traps are identified early and consistently defused. In cross-border business and commercial law, forward-looking drafting is particularly important, because global requirements and different sets of rules can quickly lead to undesirable side effects.
The next step results in an approach that fits your company in Dortmund. Our lawyers factor in new developments relating to supply chains as well as the relevant compliance requirements. On this basis, critical points can be flagged early and regulated with tailored contractual mechanisms so that risks are either fully avoided or significantly reduced.
This way, from Dortmund, you create a robust foundation for international activities. The cooperation results in more stable processes, greater certainty in decisions and better predictability over longer periods – so that your focus stays where it belongs: on growth and your business goals.
Support in Dortmund with the enforcement of foreign judgments
Effectively enforce international legal titles
When a foreign decision is to take effect in Germany – or when a German judgment needs to be enforced in another country – a well-planned approach is decisive. Our lawyers in Dortmund support you in setting up the next steps to fit your project and in preparing the enforcement of your claims across borders.
For a foreign judgment to be recognized here and subsequently enforced, several requirements often need to be examined. Depending on the country of origin, different agreements, European regulations or national provisions come into play. At the same time, deadlines, service issues, required documents and formal requirements can affect the proceedings. In Dortmund, lawyers regularly encounter international situations where properly coordinated procedures determine whether a judgment can ultimately actually be enforced.
Our approach is structured and goal-oriented: we first clarify which basis is relevant for recognition and enforcement, and then prepare the necessary steps to realize your claim. We make sure that formal requirements are met and documents are complete. This gives you reliable support from the initial check through to practical enforcement – with lawyers in Dortmund who consistently keep your matter in view.
International criminal law in Dortmund
Criminal law with an international dimension – legal support in international investigative proceedings
When your case has connections abroad, a clear roadmap is decisive. Our lawyers in Dortmund therefore get involved early and first examine which authorities are responsible and which steps make sense both in Germany and beyond its borders. This is not just about formalities: the priority is that your claims are protected and your interests consistently pursued.
Precision matters particularly in situations involving investigations or proceedings that extend across several countries. Different sets of rules, deadlines and procedures with authorities must be considered together. Our lawyers from Dortmund keep the process in view, clearly explain the next stages and arrange everything necessary for a proper approach.
Should it be necessary for handling the matter, we bring in reliable law firms abroad and precisely coordinate communication. This way, cooperation proceeds in an orderly manner without unnecessary delays – domestically as well as internationally. This means you benefit from support that is rooted in Dortmund while reliably taking into account the requirements of cross-border cases.

This is exactly what we align our work with: instead of following a rigid formula, we shape the process so that it fits your situation. From numerous mandates with connections across national borders, we know typical pitfalls as well as sensible approaches – this results in solutions that work in everyday practice and hold up even in demanding situations.
In Dortmund, we also work with an approach that leaves room for change. As soon as circumstances shift, new information emerges or conditions change, we quickly adjust the next steps. In doing so, we consistently keep in view which option brings you the greatest benefit – even where the starting situation seems unusual or several factors must be considered at once.

Cooperation with tax advisors and other professionals
Strong across disciplines—legal support with an eye on tax and economic interrelationships
Anyone active across national borders often faces tax questions that quickly intertwine and require additional coordination. To ensure such matters are properly clarified, our lawyers in Dortmund work closely with notaries, tax advisors and other trusted contacts. This coordinated cooperation makes it possible to grasp international situations from different angles and bring them into a coherent overall picture.
Clients in Dortmund especially appreciate that tax and legal aspects are not considered separately but work together sensibly. Regular exchange among the parties involved creates clarity, helps develop suitable approaches, and makes potential pitfalls visible early. This results in support that is oriented towards the specific need and consistently takes into account the circumstances of the individual case.
For cross-border projects, this means: clients in Dortmund receive support that is viable in the long term and takes into account both the respective requirements and the particularities of international structures. The combination of proven working methods and reliable cooperation ensures that even extensive matters are handled in an orderly, prompt manner with a view to the essential conditions.
Integration of foreign law
International coordination—legally secure advice incorporating foreign legal systems
Anyone in Dortmund looking for support with cross-border matters receives support from us that deliberately looks beyond Germany. As soon as a case has connections with other countries, we factor in the relevant requirements from the countries concerned. Especially in international situations, it makes a difference to consider all relevant sets of rules early and properly coordinate them with one another.
To reliably safeguard your interests outside Germany as well, we work closely with lawyers abroad where needed. From Dortmund, exchange with partners in various countries is straightforward, so coordination can happen promptly. This is especially helpful where, for example, contracts concern several jurisdictions or cross-border questions need to be clarified quickly.
You do not just receive handling in line with German requirements. Foreign provisions are also carefully considered, compared and incorporated into the strategy. This creates a clear overview of opportunities, requirements and possible risks. At the same time, we keep you continuously informed, so decisions can be made on a transparent basis.
Clarity in the face of language barriers and translations
Contractual certainty across language boundaries—legal support with international documents
As soon as contracts, certificates or other documents from abroad arrive at your company, every detail matters. Different languages and wordings can quickly lead to ambiguities – especially when content is to be recorded in a binding way. In Dortmund, our lawyers help you review and prepare foreign-language documents so that statements remain clearly understandable. This allows possible misinterpretations to be identified early, and unnecessary conflicts can be avoided before they even arise.
A further focus is on coordination with international business partners. Our lawyers support you in Dortmund with communication relating to negotiations, follow-up questions and the exchange of key information. We ensure clean and comprehensible transmission of all content, so that agreements do not fail due to wording. The result is a reliable basis for decisions, transparent expectations on both sides, and a high degree of certainty for cross-border projects – including more complex agreements with a connection to Dortmund.
