Business transactions between France and Germany require a thorough understanding of the legal and tax framework in both countries.
To meet the needs of our clients, Grant Thornton Société d’Avocats has created a team specifically dedicated to Franco-German relations.
Made up of trilingual French German English lawyers, our German Desk advises and assists clients from German-speaking countries (Germany, Austria, German-speaking Switzerland) as well as the French subsidiaries of German-speaking groups in their cross-border operations and activities in France.
Our teams have expert knowledge of the economic and social environment both in the German-speaking countries and in France, allowing us to provide comprehensive, tailor-made support for our clients in the French market.
In order to offer an integrated and transnational service, each client file is coordinated by a member of the German Desk, who is then supported by the firm's experts in all areas of law.
Moreover, within this international framework, the German Desk works regularly with the international member firms of Grant Thornton, and notably with Germany and Austria. Both these member firms have a French Desk and have developed close ties with Grant Thornton's German Desk in France thereby offering its clients complete and relevant solutions for their establishment in France.
Grant Thornton Société d’Avocats is a member of both the Franco-German Business Clubs of Provence and the Côte d'Azur and the Franco-German Chamber of Commerce and Industry. Within this context, our team members regularly and actively take part in conferences on current legal and tax issues in both countries.
