Has been a pleasure to host the latest Le Frühstück breakfast get-together of La French Tech Düsseldorf in our Düsseldorf office last Thursday.   On the occasion of 4th of July, i.e., Independence Day in the U.S., we had chosen a special topic, namely U.S. holding structures for French and German tech companies: Orrick’s Onur Öztürk has given insights into the typical motives (attracting investors and/or talent in the U.S. and/or USA being a key market), how a French or German tech company can get into such a structure (from scratch or via a so-called ‘Flip’) and the various advantages and disadvantages that come with a two-tier U.S. holding structure – based on our experience of accompanying dozens of French and German tech companies on their way into such a structure.   Big thank you to everyone who attended and to Adrien Serres and colleagues from La French Tech Düsseldorf for organizing and providing insights into the unique ecosystem that brings together French startups, investors, decision makers and community builders in Düsseldorf, North Rhine-Westphalia and beyond – meeting for the next Le Frühstück at L'institut Français de Düsseldorf on 9 September.   Thumbs up also to Orrick’s tech partners Carsten Bernauer and Christopher Sprado for their involvement and Raph Crouan for his support.   Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP | Orrick Tech #tech #frenchtech #entrepreneurship #founders #investors #innovation #TeamOrrick
