Advising, developing, and notarizing for investors and companies abroad
Handling legal matters with international aspects is part of the our daily work at Jakoby Law Firm. All of the lawyers at Jakoby Law Firm are fluent in business English. For us, drafting documents in English or English and German, as well as communicating with clients in English is a matter of course. On top of that, Jakoby Law Firm also has lawyers that speak French, Italian, and Polish.
Our individual backgrounds are filled with various stays abroad and regular professional exchanges with other lawyers around the world, giving us a cross-cultural sensitivity that has proven indispensable to us when it comes to legal matters that cross borders.
As a notary, Dr. Markus Jakoby regularly advises and certifies contracts with international aspects, such as German-English purchasing agreements or investment agreements for foreign investment companies.
