We also practise in the area of law concerning diplomatic representations. Our attorneys represented embassies and consulates even when Bonn was still the capital of Germany. We continued our representation of those embassies after Berlin became the capital. We have extensive experience with all the special needs and requirements of embassies and consulates.

Based on our long-term experience, we offer embassies and consulates support in the following matters:

• purchase of real estate by foreign states for their embassies and ambassador’s residence;
  
• filing for a waiver of the land transfer tax and court costs;
  
• representation in concluding construction contracts (while securing the refund of VAT);
  
• consultation in the conclusion of rental agreements with inclusion of appropriate diplomatic clauses;
  
• consultation on employment and social security issues with regard to locally recruited staff.
