Legal Guide to Germany – Expat’s Concise Guide to overcome officialdom in Germany
“The project “The Legal Guide to Germany" is the expat's concise guide to overcome
officialdom in Germany. It helps citizens of other countries, either living in or (soon) coming
to Germany, in gaining a reliable orientation toward their every day legal rights and
responsibilities in Germany. It's all about a lawyer telling inside stories on everyday legal
questions. In other words, it's an 24 hours / 7 days a week integration course for those who
are not satisfied with "standard" or "minimum".
This portal offers products and services in four areas:
