Legal and tax in Germany – what French companies need to know
Germany is the largest economy in the EU and thus an attractive partner for French businesses. French companies are involved in Germany by way of deals, M&A or by setting up subsidiaries.
Key points in brief
- Even if they are neighbours, the cultural conditions in the two countries differ.
- The differences in the fields of tax and law are not insignificant: requirements, e.g. concerning tax due diligence, are structured differently, M&A, deals, and especially founding a company should be strategically planned.
- EU rules are implemented in national legislation differently.
- German employment law has to be taken into account when taking on staff.
Germany and France – both strong in the mid-market
Both Germany and France have a strong mid-market segment. These companies benefit when the potential on both sides of the border is exploited. Subsidiaries, M&A, deals and transactions play a crucial role here. They offer the opportunity to put your company on a broader footing and to take advantage of potential. We assist in this process, plan strategically and help you realise your goals.
