Living a Double Life in Germany and the U.S.
An evening for globally mobile professionals and families who want to plan ahead — thoughtfully and proactively.
Professionals working and living across borders face a unique set of legal and financial considerations that are often underestimated.
Living a Double Life is a professional panel discussion focused on the practical realities of cross-border life — including immigration status, family, and investing internationally. The event brings together expert perspectives to help internationally active professionals better understand how different legal and financial systems intersect.
The discussion will address key considerations such as:
– Immigration status and long-term residency planning
– Marriage, partnership agreements, and wills across jurisdictions
– Structuring investments and finances in a cross-border context
Designed for internationally mobile professionals, executives, entrepreneurs, and globally connected families, this event offers a high-level, practice-oriented overview of issues that are increasingly relevant in a globalized professional landscape.
The panel discussion will be followed by a networking reception in the garden offering a cash bar.
