Munich office, Sophie's desk
Maximilianstraße 35, 80539 München. English-speaking corporate lawyer Sophie Richter. 5 services run out of Munich, cross-office support for the rest.
Munich in context
Munich hosts Germany's deep-tech and enterprise-software scene (next to Berlin in VC funding), plus Allianz, Munich Re, BMW, Airbus, and a dense research ecosystem (TUM, LMU, Fraunhofer, Max Planck). Gewerbesteuer Hebesatz 2026 is 490%, highest of our four cities. Combined corporate tax 32.975%.
Bayern offers a compensating advantage: the KVR München (Kreisverwaltungsreferat, Munich's immigration authority) processes Blue Card and § 21 AufenthG files faster and more predictably than Berlin's LEA. For immigration-timeline-critical cases, Munich is often the right seat.
Our Munich office sits at Maximilianstraße 35, 80539 München, five minutes from Marienplatz and walking distance to AG München.
