Vel­kom­men! Vel­kom­men! Väl­kom­men!

LE­BUHN & PUCH­TA pro­vi­des com­pre­hen­si­ve as­sis­tance to cli­ents from Scan­di­na­via wi­th re­gard to their le­gal mat­ters in Ger­ma­ny.

We al­so as­sist Ger­man cli­ents wi­th the suc­cessful rea­li­sa­ti­on of their ac­ti­vi­ties in Scan­di­na­via. Whe­re ap­pro­pria­te, we in­s­truct first class lo­cal law firms known to us for ma­ny ye­ars, and coor­di­na­te their ac­ti­vi­ties on be­half of our cli­ents.

The com­pe­tence of our Scan­di­na­vi­an Desk rests on con­sis­t­ent­ly working in the in­te­rests of our cli­ents over ma­ny ye­ars and on a clo­se-knit net­work. The in­ter­na­tio­nal work ex­pe­ri­ence of our la­wy­ers ran­ges from lo­cal se­cond­ments to for­eign stays las­ting se­ve­ral ye­ars.
