Florian von Eyb is an attorney in the firm's business law and transaction group. He is a German native and a licensed attorney in both New York and Germany.
The focus of Florian’s German-American International Practice is on U.S.-inbound and international business transactions of companies and individuals from the German-speaking countries of Europe. Serving as a bridgehead in the U.S., he supports his clients with structuring and implementing their market entry or investment, advising on the creation and ongoing operation of U.S. subsidiaries, the acquisition of existing U.S. entities and the establishment of contractual relationships with U.S. partners and service providers (e.g., distributors, retailers, etc.). In addition to corporate and business law (including M&A, general contract law), Florian advises European and U.S. clients on employment and immigration law (work visa and double-citizenship), intellectual property issues (e.g., licensing), legal opinions on capacity and enforceability of agreements and compliance with U.S. sanctions regimes. Furthermore, he serves as a German intermediary for German-speaking clients who seek advice from Offit Kurman’s attorneys in all other specialized areas of law, such as litigation, tax, real estate, bankruptcy, banking, trusts and estates, family law and others. Many clients see his role akin to that of an in-house counsel to the client’s U.S. subsidiaries. Building long-term trusted relationships with his clients, Florian also serves as Corporate Secretary for some of his clients’ U.S. companies.
As an attorney who is licensed in Germany and New York, Florian, together with our German Practice Group of attorneys and legal assistants (including German Referendare/interns), offers German-speaking clients the comfort of not only being able to communicate in their native language but also to explain and navigate the differences between German/European civil law and U.S. common law concepts and problems from a German legal and cultural perspective.
Florian received his law degree from Georg-August-Universität Göttingen (School of Law) in Germany in 2003. After his clerkships (Referendariat) in the cities of Bonn, Cologne and New York, he was admitted to the German Bar in August 2007. In 2007, Florian also received his LL.M. in American Law with a concentration in international business practice from Boston University School of Law.

Additonal Publications
Florian von Eyb ist ein Principal in unserem Corporate and Business Law Department und Teil der German Practice Group. Er ist in Deutschland und New York State als Rechtsanwalt zugelassen.
Sein Tätigkeitsschwerpunkt ist die Betreuung von Unternehmen und Privatpersonen aus dem deutschsprachigen Raum Europas in den USA. Hierzu gehört die Beratung im amerikanischen Handels- und Gesellschaftsrecht, beim Markteintritt, bei Firmengründungen, M&A (Fusionen und Übernahmen von Unternehmen), im Arbeitsrecht (einschließlich Arbeits- und Trennungsverträge), allgemeinen Vertragsrecht und bei Visumsanträgen und doppelter Staatsbürgerschaft. Dabei unterstützt Florian deutsche Mandanten beginnend mit der Strukturierung des ersten Markteintritts und fungiert als dauerhaftes Bindeglied zwischen dem deutschem Stammhaus und dem amerikanischem Tochter- oder Partnerunternehmen. Als deutscher und amerikanischer Anwalt bietet er nicht nur die Vorteile eines deutschen Muttersprachlers. Er kann zudem auch die rechtlichen, geschäftlichen und kulturellen Unterschiede zwischen Deutschland und den USA aus beiden Perspektiven für den Mandanten erläutern und überbrücken. Viele Mandanten sehen seine Rolle vergleichbar zu der eines In-House Anwalts ihrer amerikanischen Tochtergesellschaften.
Darüber hinaus unterstützt er die Beratung unserer deutschsprachigen Mandanten durch unsere Spezialisten bei Prozessen vor U.S. Gerichten und Schiedsgerichten sowie in allen anderen Rechtsgebieten wie u.a. Immobilienrecht, Markenrecht, Patentrecht, gewerblicher Rechtsschutz, Steuerrecht, Insolvenzrecht, Bankrecht, oder Familien- und Erbrecht.
