M&A

We advise private, industrial and financial players in national and international M&A transactions, in particular acquisitions and divestments of shares and assets, mergers and joint ventures. The target companies can be all from owner-managed Mittelstand companies to international groups, also distressed or insolvent enterprises. Even beyond transactions, we advise our clients in all material areas of corporate law.

In M&A transactions, we cover the entire process from due diligence through drafting and negotiating of the relevant agreements (purchase agreement and ancillary agreements) to closing, post-closing and other implementation work, including any claims under the purchase agreement.

We put great value on "getting the deal done", with a pragmatic approach strictly based on the client's specific interests and concerns: We define the scope of the due diligence together with the client and deliver a focused report; we draft agreements with straightforward structure and wording; and finally, we lead negotiations efficiently so as to find appropriate solutions for each transaction.

The partners have consistently been ranked in Best Lawyers, and IFLR recognises us as a Tier 6 firm.

Where required, we also coordinate the support of local counsels worldwide which we select from our proven international network.
