Germany and Luxembourg

Legal advice where work, investment and business cross the border.

Two legal systems. One commercial reality.

Companies, executives, employees and private clients often face German and Luxembourg rules at the same time. The practical difficulty is usually not a single rule, but the point where contract, tax, employment and corporate questions meet.

Fritz Zahnd advises in cross-border civil, employment, construction, real-estate and company-law matters. The scope includes preventive advice and representation in objections or proceedings.

Recurring issues

  • Tax assessments and tax obligations of cross-border commuters
  • Managing-director and board liability for corporate tax debts
  • Employment agreements and ongoing employment relationships
  • Construction and real-estate projects
  • Business partnerships, joint ventures and incorporations
  • Share transfers, shareholder resolutions and contract enforcement

Start with the facts

A contract, a tax notice or a project schedule rarely tells the whole story. A first review should therefore include the persons involved, place of work or project, contractual documents and the applicable deadlines.
