FGvW further expands international legal advice with Iran-Expert Emad Tabatabaei

We continue to strengthen our worldwide consultancy with Seyed Emadeddin Tabatabaei (37). As Of Counsel the Iranian Lawyer will provide support for German, Swiss and Austrian clients in connection with their businesses in Iran. In the same manner, he will support Iranian companies with their market entry in the DACH region.

„As a result of the cutback of the sanctions against the Islamic Republic, the business opportunities of German companies have significantly improved. With Emad Tabatabaei, we have a proven Iran-Expert at hand who will build a bridge between our clients and this highly attractive market”, explains Barbara Mayer, Managing Partner. “He has excellent contacts, knows his country and people and is able to offer on-site advice in connection with the formation of companies and the conclusion of cooperation contracts and distribution agreements, while at the same time ensuring through a corresponding sanctions’ compliance that existing trade barriers are observed.”

Born in Tehran, Emad Tabatabaei also studied Law in this town from 1998 until 2003 and concluded his studies by acquiring his licentiate. As part of postgraduate studies, Emad further acquired his „Magister Legum“ (LL.M.) in April 2010 at the Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg. Currently, he is preparing his doctoral thesis at the Max-Planck-Institute for Foreign and International Criminal Law in Freiburg. In addition to his position as Of Counsel for FGvW, Emad also works for NCTM, best friend network partner of FGvW in Italy. Therefore, Emad Tabatabaei will commute between Germany (main focus: Freiburg), Milan (work for NCTM) and Tehran.

„The potential of the Iranian market is enormous. However, time and manner of the market entry need to be well thought out. Businesses which take the first step into Iran in time will profit by the end of the sanctions“, emphasizes Tabatabaei. „As an international law firm, Friedrich Graf von Westphalen & Partner is best positioned to offer cross-border support to our clients in connection with their activities in Iran. At the same time, we draw from a comprehensive expertise in offering advice to international investors as they enter the market through the establishment or acquisition of a company in Germany. The number of Iranian companies aspiring a greater presence in Germany has clearly increased. It is within our capability to offer the full support needed.“
