US Desk

Germany and the US – investment and partnership ties between the two countries are deeply rooted. The US remains one of Germany’s most important trade partners.

For many years, the cross border practice of Schultze & Braun has been focusing on legal services for the German-American market. Lawyers at Schultze & Braun are admitted to practice in the US and have wide personal networks there. They have extensive personal experience of handling US-related matters such as the protection or enforcement of assets in the US.

Over recent years, Schultze & Braun has also commenced various US Chapter 15 proceedings aimed at protecting German insolvency estates in US litigation or during the sale of assets in the US.

We also advise clients looking to enforce liability or avoidance claims: from Germany against persons located in the US or in accordance with US law as well as vice versa for US clients against German defendants based on German law.
