Delegation trip to Iran – a complete success!
> December 2016

The practice group beck middle east participated in a delegation trip of the German-Iranian jurist association Deutsch-Iranischen Juristenvereinigung e.V. (DIJV) to Iran at the end of October. The aim of the delegation trip was to examine the business law conditions on site and to make the respective participants familiar with them. The delegation visited some ministries and organisations relevant for foreign investors and exchanged views and experiences with local decision makers and colleagues.

In the department of employment information was given, among others about the posting of employees to Iran, the regulations for work and residence permits as well as conditions for tax and social insurances. The visit to the “Organization for Investment, Economic & Technical Assistance of Iran" (OIETAI) gave an insight into the present conditions for foreign investors. It is again confirmed that the conditions in Iran are remarkably good.
Apart from that, a visit to the Teheran Regional Arbitration Centre (TRAC), the Iranian Central Bar Association (Teheran) and the Shahid Beheshti University & Katouzian Foundation were on the agenda.

Finally, the delegation was allowed to attend the first meeting of the legal commission of the German Iranian chamber of industry and commerce (AHK Teheran) which had been initiated among others by the lawyer Mr. Bahram Ardehali. The team of beck middle east will actively participate as a member of the legal commission AHK Teheran.
