Your legal hub for Germany and France
Welcome to Qivive, the German and French law firm! Since its founding in 2001 by Christophe Kühl, we have been advising medium-sized companies and large corporations on all aspects of German and French business law.
Where it counts: Cologne | Paris | Lyon
We have a physical presence in Germany and France. Our focus on three important locations allows us to combine our strengths and improve our teamwork.
Swarm intelligence
One of our core strengths is that our firm has more than 20 bilingual attorneys – French avocats and German Rechtsanwälte – with double French-German degrees. This guarantees a high degree of specialisation
We speak your language.
All of the attorneys in our firm are trilingual (German, French, English). In addition to their studies in Germany and France, a number of them have also studied in other countries.
We are digital.
Our state-of-the-art IT systems help us work faster, more efficiently and more sustainably for our clients.
We are driven by our passion for our work.
We love what we do, and it shows. We keep it short and to the point. Our instructions will always be clear, and we act as your partners in risk.
Our success is built on personal relationships.
As an owner-operated company, we attach great importance to trust, loyalty and personal relationships. Our low employee turnover strengthens our corporate culture and the long-term relationships with our clients.
We have a strong network.
Legal advice is only one aspect of our clients’ projects. With us, you have direct access to all the other services you need for your business: accounting, tax, payroll management, recruitment, domicile services, banking and insurance services in Germany and France.
