What clients ask before engaging.
Are you a US-licensed law firm?
KALER is a German Rechtsanwaltsgesellschaft. Our New York office advises on German and EU law for US-based clients and German Mittelstand companies. For matters of US law, we coordinate with US-licensed counsel — but we lead the engagement when our German clients need a single point of contact.
What types of mandates do you handle in New York?
Mid-cap Cross-Border M&A (5–50M USD), German Mittelstand US market entry (Delaware LLC formation, distribution agreements, USPTO trademarks), CFIUS proceedings for US investments into German tech/defense companies, and joint ventures DE/US.
How does the Frankfurt-NY axis work?
Mandates are coordinated seamlessly between both offices: one point of contact, one engagement letter, one fee. No translation losses from multi-firm setups, no double billing. Time-zone offset is used for overnight turnarounds when needed.
What languages do you operate in?
Fluent English and German throughout. Cross-border contracts are drafted bilingually where appropriate. The lead partner has spent significant time on Wall Street and is fluent in NY business culture.
