The Spanish Desk (Centro de Competencia Español)

Within the scope of our Spanish Desk, we offer both care of Spanish-speaking clients in Germany (inbound) and advice for German clients with interests in Spanish-speaking countries (outbound). In particular, it is apparent that companies from Spain are becoming more active in the German market. One focus of our work therefore lies in the comprehensive and complete care of Spanish companies in Germany.

The partner responsible for the Spanish Desk, Dr. Edmund Weigert, worked in Spain for several years. He was the Director Financiero-administrativo of a public limited company (plc) in Castilla-La Mancha
