Consulting Focus

Christoph Oertel advises his clients on international and national commercial law, international project business, and corporate transactions (M&A including start-up advice in financing rounds). This includes contract law advice on software licensing issues. In drafting his contracts, he attaches particular importance to the appropriate consideration of any international dimension of his mandates.

As a member of the French Desk at Brödermann Jahn, he supports clients from French-speaking countries in their business activities in Germany as well as German clients in their business activities in the French-speaking world.

In recent years, Christoph Oertel has increasingly focused on compliance issues. In addition to export control law, one focus of his advice is on general issues of good corporate governance, such as supply chain management, and corruption prevention in a national and international context.
