Germany: Transparency mandatory for all companies with public affairs department

As of 1 January 2022, Germany has set up a mandatory public lobbying register. Its broad scope covers – similar to the EU transparency register – every entity which regularly communicates with the German federal executive or legislative to represent and further its interests. As a result, every company with a public affairs department may fall under its scope. Such companies will need to complete their initial registration by 28 February 2022.

With this important deadline approaching, it is necessary for each company to assess whether a registration under the LobbyRG is necessary and if so, which steps need to be taken and which internal information must be compiled to successfully register in the lobby register.
