From the Royal Family to the Beatles, Christmas markets to Jürgen Klopp, there is a long tradition of common interests and cultural exchange between the UK and Germany. This also true in business, and even after Brexit the two countries remain important trade partners, with Germany still the UK’s second most important trade partner for both imports and exports. The common industrial backgrounds and motoring heritage are seen in the strong trade of metals and vehicles, while the enviable knowledge bases are demonstrated in the large trade of medicines and financial services.
But differences remain – did the ball cross the line in 1966? Our experts in Germany and the UK are at your side to ensure you have the best knowledge of the local specifics, to avoid pitfalls and optimise your dealings in the countries.
