Initial Consultation
Our initial consultation will help you to answer your specific questions for immigrating and/or setting up a company.
You will receive personalized consultation on the best current strategy for immigrating or setting up a company, taking into account its associated tax issues.
If your questions are more generic then
- for immigration, please consider either
- the employment test in order to test the best of your chances of obtaining a permit for employment,
or - the business test to discern whether your line of business for being a freelancer or an entrepreneur
resp. - the employment test in order to test the best of your chances of obtaining a permit for employment,
- live support opening your company
Why these distinctions? We want you to get the most out of the consultation and receive answers to all your individual questions. The specific offers usually help you more than ‘just a consultation’. You decide what suits you best.
Procedure for Initial Consultation
The first step is to either meet at my office or have a call/meeting (telephone, Zoom, Teams) to discuss everything that is on your mind. Attorney Alexander von Engelhardt will answer all your questions. Moreover, we aim to clarify important correlations for you in order to anticipate follow-up questions. The initial consultation for a one-hour meeting costs €280. If one hour is too much, we also offer shorter options.
AI Notes and Written Summary
Our AI Notetaker will join the meeting to transcribe and draft a summary and action plan for you personally. For an additional charge of €60, you can receive a personally revised summary as a letter shortly after the consultation. This means that the summary begins with the AI transcript and, after deleting all "got-its", you will receive a pure text with the action points noted for you personally and any further action points. Just let us know at the beginning of the consultation; you will be subsequently invoiced the additional €60 when receiving the summary.

Important Note on Documents for the Consultation
Would you like to send us one or two documents for clarification? Please send them to us only 5 minutes before the appointment! Most email programs allow you to schedule the sending of the email (e.g., Gmail, "Send later"). We get a lot of emails each hour, which is why an email sent too early can easily get lost. Please keep in mind that if we have to search for it, it will be your paid time lost.
Follow-up Questions
Once the consultation is over, then it's over. Yet, it may happen that an important detail just came to your understanding after we talked. It is best to ask follow-up questions via our service hotline 09008 529 366 00 (only available from Germany) with a German carrier.
Crediting for Legal Representation of your Case
If you hire us after the initial consultation, the costs of the initial consultation will be credited to the representation as an advance.
