South Africa is an attractive market for German companies and one that offers a wealth of opportunities in many sectors. It is therefore one of the most important overseas markets for German exports. Gleiss Lutz advises German companies on their business endeavours in the country while also, conversely, advising South African companies on their activities in Germany.

Gleiss Lutz has long-established ties with leading independent South African law firms. As a result, we have developed long-standing personal relationships at all working levels that have been tried and tested in a wide range of cross-border legal issues. This allows us to assemble hand-picked teams tailored to our clients’ specific needs whenever required, as well as to coordinate teams of lawyers in South Africa.
