NIETZER® . Rechtsanwälte . Attorneys at Law (USA) specializes in business law (Germany and USA). The Nietzer legal tradition, established in 1924 and thus more than 100 years old, has been continued in the third generation since 1994. Our core areas are advising on national and international corporate transactions (M&A), commercial and corporate law, distribution law, contract law (including in the areas of research, development, joint ventures, intellectual property and IT), commercial tenancy law, labor and data protection law, and compliance. In these areas, we also offer seminars and employee training.

National and international business, contract and corporate law are indispensable companions in the day-to-day business of every company today. The international dominance of the Anglo-American legal system (in particular U.S. law) and the U.S. contract structures based on it make it essential to have knowledge not only of national corporate law but also of U.S. law, in particular U.S. corporate law, U.S. contract law and U.S. company law. In addition, experience in working across different cultures is indispensable.

We act for clients as trustees, interim managing directors, representatives on supervisory bodies (also in the USA) and executors. We attach the utmost importance to efficiency, availability, a sense of proportion and a results-oriented approach. We provide pragmatic recommendations (that is, despite the risks identified, we aim to enable business rather than prevent it) and rely on trusting cooperation that allows us to negotiate the best solutions for our clients and their business relationships. Our clients include German and foreign group companies, family-owned companies from the German Mittelstand, investment companies and start-ups.
