German desk

  • English
  • Deutsch

Our German desk was one of the pioneers in Spain in the provision of advice directed specifically to clients in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

The lawyers of the German desk not only know the language, but are perfectly familiar with the customs and commercial and cultural habits of the aforementioned countries.

Its members include both lawyers and dual-qualified German-law graduates, which provides us with deep knowledge of both legal systems.

This translates into significant added value advice to clients in said jurisdictions.

Throughout its history of more than 20 years, our German desk has developed a particular expertise in the areas of M&A and Corporate and Commercial Law in the following sectors:


In addition, we act as project manager in cases with other specialties, in close cooperation with the different areas of specialization and GA_P offices.

Unser German Desk war einer der Pioniere in Spanien bei der speziell an deutschsprachige Mandanten aus Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz gerichteten Beratung.

Die Anwälte des German Desk beherrschen nicht nur die Sprache, sondern kennen sich auch bestens mit den Handels- und kulturellen Gewohnheiten der genannten Länder aus.

Zu ihnen zählen sowohl Anwälte als auch Absolventen deutscher Rechtswissenschaften mit doppeltem Abschluss, was uns eine umfassende Kenntnis beider Rechtsordnungen ermöglicht.

Dies stellt bei der Beratung von Mandanten der genannten Rechtsordnungen einen entscheidenden Mehrwert dar.

Im Laufe seines mehr als 20-jährigen Bestehens hat unser German Desk im Bereich M&A und Corporate, in den Branchen Food, Retail, Hospitality, Automotive, Life Sciences und Energy eine besondere Expertise entwickelt.

In anderen Fachgebieten arbeiten wir als Projektmanager eng mit den verschiedenen Fachspezialisten und Büros von GA_P zusammen.
