Representative Experience Corporate/M&A Practice
We offer listed and privately owned clients comprehensive corporate and transactional advice on a range of matters, including public and private M&As, takeovers, PIPEs, joint ventures and minority investments, corporate and business restructuring, corporate finance and corporate governance and compliance. We also routinely advise shareholders, management, as well as supervisory boards. We advise domestic and international clients on an array of M&A transactions and corporate law projects, both with and without a capital markets component. This includes acquisitions arising out of distressed situations where we work in close collaboration with our colleagues in our restructuring practice. Our considerable experience in a broad range of industries, including those that are publicly regulated , gives us a unique advantage in developing innovative solutions tailored for our clients individual needs. In recent years we have advised on several transactions valued at more than €1 billion, as well as on a significant number of mid-cap transactions. The M&A transactions in which we are typically involved require a high level of strategic planning with respect to the overall transaction process, as well as coordination among the involved parties and advisors. We are dedicated to meeting the complex legal and commercial demands of such transactions by understanding and heeding the often divergent interests of customers, employees, investors, lenders and other corporate constituents. When advising bidders or target enterprises in negotiated and nonnegotiated takeovers, block trades, or minority investments, we draw upon the significant experience of our capital markets practice. The corporate team advises strategic investors, as well as listed companies wishing to establish or expand influence in among other listed companies. When privately owned businesses intend to expand with the help of minority investors or seek third-party financing as a means to strengthen their equity, they look to our vast experience in harmonizing divergent interests, which is often accomplished by designing innovative adjustments to the corporate structure and consortium agreements. We also make available the extensive expertise and network of our private equity practice. Additionally, our entrepreneurial clients rely on our tax practice for developing succession-planning strategies with respect to ownership of their businesses. Our corporate lawyers often work in close cooperation with our highly specialized tax team to design and implement innovative corporate structures that will facilitate new corporate goals, as well as addressing critical changes in ownership, financing requirements and tax and corporate law. We assist executive and nonexecutive board members with developing and implementing comprehensive governance compliance programs. We provide compliance assistance on the full spectrum of issues that arise in connection with capital markets, tax, corporate, competition and employment law. We also advise German enterprises on international anti-corruption rules. Selected Significant Matters Corporate/M&A M&A
