TRW & Co in Germany

Who we are

TRW & Co is an international law firm. This site is the home of our guidance on German and European Union business law for companies, investors, founders and families, whether they are based in Germany or are doing business here from abroad.

We work from network offices in New York, London, Dubai, Dhaka, Singapore and Delhi, and we publish our guides in German and English so that clients, their advisers and decision-makers can work from the same material.

What we do

We advise across the matters that German business law raises for companies and investors:

• Corporate law and transactions: share and asset deals, private equity and venture capital, public takeovers and corporate governance of the GmbH, AG and SE
• Banking, finance and capital markets, including financial regulation and fintech
• Restructuring and insolvency, including the StaRUG framework and directors’ duties in a crisis
• Employment law: works councils, co-determination, dismissals and restructuring, occupational pensions and global mobility
• Tax, international tax and transfer pricing, tax disputes, succession and family wealth
• Antitrust and merger control, foreign investment screening, export controls and sanctions, state aid and foreign subsidies
• Compliance, internal investigations, whistleblowing, white-collar defence and ESG, including supply chain due diligence and sustainability reporting
• Commercial litigation, the Commercial Courts and international arbitration
• IP and patents, including the Unified Patent Court; data protection, IT, AI and cybersecurity
• Real estate, construction and public law; energy and infrastructure; commercial contracts, distribution and product liability

How we work

Every matter starts with an early assessment: what the client needs to achieve, what German and EU law require, which authorities and counterparties are involved and what the realistic timetable is. From that we build a budget, a team and a plan, and we report in plain language, in German or English.

Where a matter needs a notary, a tax adviser or local counsel in another jurisdiction, we explain their role and coordinate their work with ours.

Our offices

Our teams in New York, London, Dubai, Dhaka, Singapore, Delhi work together on matters. To discuss a matter, contact us or book a consultation.
