Globalization is bringing the European and American business worlds closer. Though this "flattening" of the globe creates new business opportunities, it also creates with it new and more internationalized legal challenges and risks. Though goods and services seem to flow freely across the Atlantic and the borders on both sides, they are not subject to any "universal international law." They are instead subject to the laws of the various countries involved in the transaction and many times the law that should prevail is not clear. The key to keeping costs down in cross border transactions is to make sure the contract provides for expected contingencies. Drafting such contracts requires attorneys with both local and international law knowledge.

Our European and American experience helps us to find you the best possible solutions for your European and American legal matters. With our own German and Spanish licensed attorney, we are able to offer our clients a comprehensive range of legal services tailored to their needs. We are particularly well equipped to assist Europeans in buying United States real estate and Americans buying real estate in Europe.

Like the rest of our practice, our European law practice focuses on small and mid-sized businesses that operate internationally. We can help those businesses enter the vast and nearly limitless United States market or the dynamic and diverse European market. We also handle international litigation matters arising in both Europe and the United States. Our familiarity with the broad range of European and United States legal systems, our knowledge of the subtleties of business and corporate law in cross-border, and especially cross-Atlantic, transactions, and our strong network of contacts are invaluable tools for successfully handling your United States and European law needs.
