Company Establishment
The founding is for most Chinese companies their first step for expansion in Germany. We support clients in the founding of subsidiary companies, independent companies and representation offices (dependent company branches).
For the greater majority of firms the German "GmbH", a form of limited liability company, is the best way to establish themselves in Germany. Even though German business law in respect to the GmbH has lately been modernized, immigration law is still a very important factor. And therefore, our consultants have years of experience with these aspects and entertain relations to authorities from which our clients profit.
If legal services according to German legal service law are required, then a lawyer and/ or notary needs to be assigned which is just introduced by MPR.
