The American Chamber of Commerce in Germany and its Regional Chapter North Rhine-Westphalia, together with its members Bird & Bird LLP and NRW.Global Business GmbH, the Trade and Investment Agency of North Rhine-Westphalia, are pleased to invite you to a webinar on "The NRW-USA Year: Demystifying the Pitfalls of Investing in Germany" on May 28, 2024 at 6 pm Central European Summer Time (CEST).

Introductory remarks will be given by Theresa Winkels, AmCham Germany Chair, Regional Chapter North Rhine-Westphalia, and Director of the Düsseldorf Office of Economic Development and Jay Carreiro, Commercial Consul, U.S. Consulate General Düsseldorf. In the following webinar, Dr. Marc Seeger, Dr. Catharina Klumpp, LL.M., Lennart Schüssler, Dr. Matthias Spilker, LL.M., and Felix Schmidtke of the global law firm Bird & Bird LLP will demystify the typical legal pitfalls of investing in Germany. Participants will receive brief overviews on the legal frameworks for employment, data usage as well as protection, and supply chain compliance in Germany and why these, albeit different from the U.S., still allow U.S. companies to successfully conduct their businesses in Germany. In addition, Eric Wallner and Daniel Düren of NRW.Global Business will give an insight on how transatlantic business development, with a focus on Foreign Direct Investment, can be successful by seeking assistance from a state-owned trade and investment agency.

Remarks and discussion will be held in English.

Online Registration open until May 24, 2024
