Are you planning to enter the U.S. market, negotiating a contract with a U.S. customer, or speaking with a U.S. investor? German technology companies face questions regarding IP protection, data protection issues, and U.S. contract law—all of which differ significantly from the German legal framework.

We’ll guide you through every step of the process—from establishing the legal structure for your market entry, to negotiating U.S. contracts, to protecting your technology and data in the U.S. market.

SaaS contracts under U.S. law, licensing models for the U.S. market, open-source issues, liability clauses for U.S. sales: Software and SaaS providers need contracts that hold up in the U.S.—not just in Germany.

We draft and review your SaaS and licensing agreements, clarify open-source license chains, and mitigate liability risks as you establish your U.S. sales structure.

European defense investments are bringing German suppliers and systems integrators closer to the U.S. market—as contractors to U.S. government agencies, as part of supply chains with U.S. prime contractors, or as targets for U.S. investments.

We provide consulting services on government contracting with U.S. government agencies, ITAR and EAR export controls, CFIUS reviews for equity investments, and teaming agreements with U.S. prime contractors.

Your medical device is set to be marketed in the U.S., you have an American distributor lined up, or you’re receiving initial inquiries from the U.S. market—and this raises questions about contracts, liability, and compliance with FDA regulations.

We draft distribution agreements with U.S. partners, assess U.S. product liability issues, and help develop the IP strategy for your medical device—the FDA approval process itself remains the responsibility of specialized regulatory consultants.

Whether a machine is being shipped to the U.S., an American distributor is set to sell your equipment, or you’re planning to open your own facility in the U.S.—for many German industrial and mechanical engineering companies, the U.S. market has long been part of their everyday business.

We provide legal guidance on export and customs matters, limit U.S. product liability, draft distribution and dealer agreements, and adapt your warranty provisions to comply with U.S. law.
