Altea Lex is a law firm based in Cologne, Germany, with a strong focus on international corporate and private customers who are in need of comprehensive legal, tax and practical advice with regard to the German companies, activities and interests.

Based on the customers’ specific needs, Altea Lex is able to offer a broad range of services in cooperation with local and international partners and its own service company Altea GmbH for payroll, accounting, administrative and managing activities.

The clients can count on the many years of experience of the founder Dr. Christoph von der Seipen providing legal advice in a number of fields to foreign companies working in Germany and also bringing in his vast experience with foreign and domestic companies who are active in Italy.

Even though European law increasingly means integration, the national legal frameworks tend to maintain their differences, on the other hand making business abroad, whether online, with local agents or employees or through a German subsidiary, has never been easier. The demand for legal and tax advice on German law in English is therefore very high, even more so if paired with a practical and comparative approach.
