GATA - German American Trade Association

The German American Trade Association (GATA) is a not-for-profit organization that was formed in 2003 by a group of German Industry Associations. GATA’s objective is to facilitate entry to the U.S. market for new companies and provide comprehensive risk management protection for German-Speaking companies with existing U.S. business. For all companies that are thinking about entering the US market or have already founded a US subsidiary, we as the German American Trade Association (GATA) offer several varieties of well-founded management seminars on all relevant topics – condensed in one day or in partial aspects as webinars.

U.S. Entry Meetings: Despite a variety of developments regarding business in North America, especially in the political arena, the US market still is and continues to be an extremely attractive environment for many, especially medium-sized companies. Business expansion is a significant step for owner-managed companies, SMEs and established industrial corporations.

Executive Management Meetings: As regards liability it is an obligation for employees who hold Officer or Director positions at a U.S. subsidiary to update their specific knowledge of U.S. management at regular intervals. Inform yourself in a very concise manner about the current framework and obligations of the U.S. subsidiary during our one-day meetings.

International Business Law Update: A meeting specially designed for lawyers and in-house lawyers, which shows the economic content of international transactions as they have become common law standards today. In short stages, the approximately ten most practice-relevant areas are dealt with. The focus is on the USA, but most of the content is valid worldwide.
