Remote Work, Independent Professionals and Mobility across Europe
Cross-border living and working arrangements with a German nexus
Self-employed people, entrepreneurs and location-independent professionals are advised on the legal structure of cross-border living and working arrangements. Advice is available in German, English, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese.
A common starting point is residence in another EU Member State while professional links, clients or a self-employed activity remain in Germany. EU free movement, physical working locations, social security and professional requirements may then interact.
The initial assessment covers the migration and free-movement basis and the EU-law rules applicable in Germany. Where other fields of law or foreign law are involved, suitable institutions or specialists in the countries concerned can be included.
Legal advice is limited to German law, including the EU-law rules applicable in Germany. Tax advice is not provided.
Advice may be sought before a planned move or for an existing cross-border working arrangement. Residence, nationality, physical working locations, working status, professional infrastructure and family circumstances determine which issues should be addressed first.
