Who We Are

## International by design.

LANA AP.MA advises companies and individuals who operate across borders: industrial and commercial businesses, financial institutions, private funds, and educational institutions. Our client base is split almost evenly between US and Asian entities, which reflects where the real cross-border work happens.

We are not a full-service firm that happens to take on international matters. International work is the firm. Every matter we accept crosses at least one border, and every matter is led by a partner, not handed to whoever is available.

Our Values

## What we hold ourselves to.

#### Excellence

We strive for outstanding client service on every matter.

#### Entrepreneurial Spirit

We think and act like the entrepreneurs we advise, not like a bureaucracy.

#### Availability

We are there when it matters, not only during business hours.

Why LANA AP.MA

## Every matter, led by a partner.

Corporate clients get a gateway to international markets without a large-firm rate structure or layers of bureaucracy. Our lean structure means complete discretion, fast decisions and rates that stay predictable, backed by a network of specialists across the USA, Asia and Europe.

Leadership

## Your first point of contact.

**Dr. Stephan Ebner** founded LANA AP.MA and remains the first point of contact for every matter, regardless of practice area or region. Admitted in the US and Germany and trained in the USA, England and Germany, he built the firm's cross-border practice around one principle: senior attention from day one.
