For several years now—thanks to the strong German language skills of our European AGN colleagues—we have been offering our clients the opportunity to communicate in German with our AGN partner firms even beyond the traditionally German-speaking countries (e.g., the Netherlands, Belgium, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia—a complete overview can be found here).

After receiving a great deal of positive feedback from numerous clients, we examined the availability of German-speaking contacts in the AGN regions outside of Europe. It turned out that, particularly in South America, a number of AGN partner firms employ colleagues with strong German language skills. We can therefore, if necessary, offer German-speaking contacts at our AGN partner firms in Argentina, Brazil, Costa Rica, and Peru.

"When communicating in English, both parties must translate the conversation’s content, which significantly hinders understanding. Conducting conversations in German significantly improves the quality of communication for our clients and AGN partners and, particularly for medium-sized companies, also enables direct communication down to the administrative staff level; we are therefore very pleased to offer this service," explains Mireia Rovira, AGN Regional Director for South America.
