Since its establishment in 1971, HEUKING has been working on an international basis. We advise and represent clients from around the world in their activities in Germany and Europe and support our clients anywhere in the world. Providing our lawyers with the appropriate training, we work closely with law firms around the globe who are best suited for the task at hand.
Over the years, our clients have come to focus on certain territories, which are represented by our Country Desks for China, French, India, Japan, CIS & Turkey.
China Desk
HEUKING’s China Desk accounts for the increasing need for advisory services, as well as the particular complexity involved in doing business with China. We offer legal advice and business support both to German and European clients in the Chinese market, and conversely for Chinese clients in Germany and Europe.
CIS Desk
Economic relations between Germany and the CIS countries have a long tradition and considerable potential for development. We advise in Russian and offer tailor-made solutions for cross-border cooperation between German companies and companies from CIS countries as well as Ukraine and Georgia.
French Desk
France is one of Germany's closest and most important business partners. For 35 years, HEUKING has been advising German companies on their French business and French companies on their activities in Germany. All lawyers of our "French Desk" team have either studied or worked in France. This competence allows us to offer tailor-made solutions for cross-border enterprises between Germany and France.
La France est l’un des plus proches et des plus importants partenaires économiques de l’Allemagne. Depuis 35 ans, HEUKING conseille des entreprises allemandes dans leurs activités en France et des entreprises françaises dans leurs activités en Allemagne. Tous les avocats de notre « équipe franco-allemande » ont étudié ou travaillé en France et possèdent donc tous les compétences leur permettant de proposer des solutions sur mesure pour les opérations transfrontalières entre la France et l’Allemagne.
India Desk
India continues to experience a climate of pioneering and optimism. With the “Make in India” campaign, the Indian government wishes to attract foreign investors to the country and create an upturn in the Indian economy. The country is rapidly opening up its markets to foreign investors, offering them attractive conditions and subsidy programs. Combined with a campaign to simplify its bureaucracy, the largest democracy in the world is facilitating market entry for European investors.
Japan Desk
For many years now, HEUKING has supported Japanese companies comprehensively on their business matters in Germany and Europe. As a full service firm, our advisory range covers all issues from market launch to ongoing support in daily business to special situations involving investigations by the antitrust, customs, or tax authorities.
The Turkish economy is one of the world's fastest growing economies and, based on its sustained and steady growth in the last 12 years, is the 6th largest economy in the European Union and the 16th largest worldwide.
Due to the structural reforms implemented in the last decade and the harmonization of the Turkish legal system with the laws of the European Union, Turkey is now one of the largest markets for foreign direct investment.
Spain & LatAm Desk
Germany is a key hub for growth and innovation in Europe, offering attractive opportunities for investment and expansion to companies from Spain and Latin America. At the same time, Spain and Latin America open up significant potential for German businesses, making tailored, culturally sensitive legal advice essential for success on both sides. Our Spain & LatAm Desk bridges Germany with Spain and Latin America.
Alemania es un centro clave de crecimiento e innovación en Europa y ofrece atractivas oportunidades de inversión y expansión a las empresas de España y América Latina. Al mismo tiempo, España y América Latina representan un gran potencial para las empresas alemanas, por lo que un asesoramiento jurídico personalizado que valora y respeta la cultura ajena resulta esencial para el éxito en ambos mercados. Nuestro Spain & LatAm Desk une Alemania con España y América Latina.
