SCHLÜTER GRAF’s history is deeply rooted in the Ruhr region, and we have been advising and providing practical legal support to local, regional, and national clients for decades. With a population of approximately 600,000, Dortmund is the sixth largest city in Germany. But its size is not the only reason the city is the centre of the Eastern Ruhr area. In the past years Dortmund has managed to successfully transform itself from an industrial city to one of the largest centres in the German service sector. A multifaceted range of service providers and shops as well as various institutions for culture, education and entertainment have made Dortmund the “Capital of Westphalia”. Dortmund’s geographical location makes it the obvious place for many companies and individuals from the surrounding areas such as the Münsterland and the Sauerland to turn to for legal and tax advice.

Via our Dortmund office we also support German companies with regard to their legal endeavours in the Middle East.
