M&A

We offer our clients expert advice on the structuring as well as the negotiation and drafting of contracts in national and international M&A transactions and joint ventures.  

We provide comprehensive support for transactions ranging from acquisition of shareholdings in Germany to complex cross-border structures and advise – alongside structuring and negotiating – on all corporate and antitrust issues as well as on the control of foreign direct investments (FDI). With our "best-in-class" network, we also cover all other legal areas relevant for a transaction,  both nationally and internationally.

In the area of public takeover law, we assist our clients in voluntary takeovers, mandatory offers or in obtaining exemptions from offers.  Management boards and supervisory boards consult us when their company becomes the target of a takeover or in order to avoid such a situation.

For the formation of joint ventures, we develop and negotiate structures for our clients that are designed to facilitate constructive cooperation.
