About the law firm
The lawfirm Sagawe & Klages is focusing on advising foreign businesses – and in particular clients from the Scandinavian countries (Denmark, Norway and Sweden) – on legal matters relating to German law. Having started in 1991, we have assisted many clients with all matters connected to starting or expanding business in Germany. This includes of course “traditional” commercial law and company law, as well as connected areas such as distribution law, labour law, trademark law and competition law. During the past 15 years, real estate and renewable energy became additional fields of specialisation for our law firm. Within real estate law, we primarily advise large and medium-sized Nordic real estate funds and companies on real estate transactions and development including lease law and building contracts. Within the renewable energy sector, we advise clients in particular on M&A transactions for wind farms and photovoltaic parks in Germany as well as related project development, public subsidies and loan-securities. Due to the internationality of our clients and the number of cross-border assignments, we have of course a genuine expertise and specialisation in private international law as well as litigation in an international context, including enforcement of arbitral awards and foreign judgments in Germany.
