Our expertise

Lawyers specializing in corporate law, commercial law, labor law and international law in Germany and France

Strategic consulting in German-French commercial law

A dual legal culture at the service of your business projects

At abci, our lawyers put their international and Franco-German experience at the service of businesses. Thanks to our in-depth knowledge of legal, economic and cultural practices in France and Germany, we support our clients in the implementation of demanding cross-border projects.

This subtle and in-depth understanding of both legal systems is essential for structuring complex transactions, conducting sensitive negotiations, securing international contracts and anticipating regulatory changes. It gives companies operating in multicultural environments a decisive strategic advantage.

We operate with a dual focus: strategic vision, which is essential for supporting the development and transformation of businesses, and technical expertise, which is necessary to ensure the legal security of each stage.
A method based on listening, expertise and personalisation

Our lawyers specialise in business law, with solid experience in international legal environments. We believe that effective legal advice is based on three fundamental pillars :
- Active listening, to understand your strategy, your specific needs and the objectives you are pursuing within your company or group.
- Targeted expertise, which enables us to formulate precise responses tailored to the economic and regulatory reality of your business.
- Personalised legal and strategic support, because every company, every situation and every project is unique.
This approach allows us to build a lasting relationship of trust with you, based on transparency, availability and the constant search for effective solutions. We act as a strategic legal partner, committed, agile and able to adapt to the demands of your environment.
