Would he need a German or US lawyer? Or is the general practice to get a local lawyer and let them handle all the cross-border details?

The contract almost certainly specifies that the choice of law will be German law. Either way, it seems the author is based in Prague currently, so I'm not sure how US law would figure into it.

I thought SoundCloud was a US company?

Soundcloud is a German company. Also, if a American company is operating in Germany they follow German laws. That is why he would need a German lawyer.

Soundcloud is incorporated in the UK but German Law would apply in this case.
