Welcome to the Law Offices of Udo Büdding, LL.M., based in the heart of Berlin and with a representative office in the San Francisco Bay Area. We are committed to providing quality legal services in the areas of civil and commercial law and related areas with emphasis on assisting clients with English-speaking backgrounds in their legal affairs in Germany.

Whether you want to start a business, need advice on specific questions of substantive or procedural Germany law, or are confronted with a situation in which the applicability of the laws of one country - United States, Germany, or other - needs to be determined, you will find in Mr. Büdding a competent and understanding counsel, who addresses your legal needs in a language you understand.

Having worked as an attorney in the technology-oriented San Francisco Bay Area for several years, Mr. Büdding has developed a particular interest in the legal issues relating to the technology industries, from intellectual property to corporate law questions facing start-up companies. His practice is centered on representing international clients in these areas in Germany, and in addition to his U.S. legal experience, he brings expertise in the relevant German law to the table. To ensure consistently high quality standards, in all areas in which services are offered, Mr. Büdding closely cooperates and consults with the colleagues of Galler, Denes & Partner in Berlin who combine many years of experience in German corporate, commercial, real estate, tax law, and litigation.

We would love to get to know you.

 

We offer personalized assistance in most aspects of doing business in Germany and representation in litigating civil and commercial claims in German courts. The experience of practicing law both in California and Germany uniquely suits us to address the individual needs of clients with English-speaking backgrounds. We help you choose the right business entity and accompany your along the way from registration to day-to-day operations in a professional and personal way.

Our services include most matters related to your business, from drafting employment agreements with your local executives to tailoring industry specific contracts, like distribution and agency agreements, to your needs. We will help you protect and license your intellectual property and procure a German or European trademark. We can also assist in obtaining the appropriate visas for employees you plan to transfer to Germany, and review the commercial lease agreements for your German office or branch.

You will profit from Mr. Büdding’s extensive experience in international law. As a California and German attorney he knows how to address complex legal issues in agreements relating to cross-border transactions before disputes arise, thus saving his clients the costs and uncertainties of litigation. If a conflict already exists, his expertise in international litigation, particularly his knowledge of the vast differences in U.S. and German procedure and the ability to appear before all California and most German courts enables him to represent his clients’ interests in the best way possible.
