Dr. Ulrich Teich

A particular specialist area of his work involves advising foreign, primarily Chinese and other Asian companies and entrepreneurs during the foundation of a branch or the acquisition of a company in Germany. Over the last ten years, he has given advice on around 150 company foundations and participations at numerous locations throughout Germany.

The law on aliens, i.e. immigrants, is particularly important when it comes to applying for resident permits and work permits or even naturalisation, for managing directors, employees and their families.

One main feature today concerns the immigration of skilled workers under the new Skilled Immigration Act (Fachkräfteeinwanderungsgesetz, “FEG”), especially the “fast-track procedure for skilled workers” (beschleunigtes Fachkräfteverfahren). In close cooperation with partners in various different countries outside the EU, Dr. Teich undertakes the planning and processing of recruitment of skilled workers, primarily for the medical sector (nursing staff for hospitals and old people’s homes, etc.)

He also does extensive consultancy work for companies involved in projects in the sectors of climate protection, environmental law and renewable energy sources. This is based on cooperation with specialist engineering offices and leading engineering scientists in these sectors.
