We put our expertise to work across borders for you.
As neighbouring countries, Germany and the Kingdom of Netherlands cooperate very closely in political, cultural and, especially, economic affairs.
This is obvious from the fact that the Netherlands are regularly a top focus of Germany foreign economic interests. And, in reverse, Germany has been The Netherlands’ most important trading partner for decades.
Good neighbours, important partners.
The intense cross-border exchange between German and Dutch business partners creates a great need for qualified advice in both legal systems. At GÖRG, we established our own Dutch Desk in Cologne in 2007, where a team of now six Dutch-speaking lawyers, who specialise in representing Dutch companies in Germany, are available.
In addition, our Dutch Desk also collaborates with an established network of leading Dutch law firms to represent the legal interests of German companies in the Netherlands. Close collaboration with almost 300 colleagues at all of the other GÖRG offices means that the Dutch Desk can offer superb support to our clients regarding any legal activities, both in Germany and the Netherlands.
We advise Dutch companies on all matters concerning German labour law, and represent them before German courts of labour. In addition to everyday labour law issues, we handle labour law restructurings, in particular the preparation and implementation of labour law company changes, and advise in situations of company transfers. Furthermore, we assist and advise Dutch companies in labour law matters when they acquire German operations and companies - from due diligence under labour law to negotiations of labour law purchase regulations and transfer agreements, as well as structuring company changes based on acquisition concepts, and labour law aspects of the transfer procedure.
