Process Agent Confidential and Efficient

In many real asset deal structures – where a foreign entity holds a real asset in Germany – lending parties typically require a Serviceable Address (“ladungsfähige Anschrift”) to ensure that legal documents and court summons are properly delivered.

Whether no local company is involved or a local entity is present without acting as the primary legal contact, lenders insist on a reliable German address for official communications.

📌 What does this requirement mean?

🟢 A “ladungsfähige Anschrift” is an address in Germany that is legally capable of receiving official documents and court notices.

🟢 When no local company is involved, appointing a Process Agent (“Empfangsbevollmächtigter”) establishes a dedicated legal contact point to handle these communications.

🟢 Even if a local entity exists, lenders may sometimes require a separate, serviceable address to meet their risk assessments.

 

At Greenfields, we provide tailored solutions to help you meet Germany’s legal obligations. Whether by establishing a serviceable address directly or by acting as your trusted Process Agent, we ensure that your transactions remain compliant and that all official communications are managed efficiently.
