The Dispute Resolution team represents clients in litigation and arbitration proceedings. It has an outstanding track record and vigorously both attacks and defends, often in challenging high-stake cases and in cross-border contexts. It has worked on banking, finance, post-M&A, capital markets, tax-related, corporate, commercial and insolvency-related cases for clients from a wide range of industries. The team has recently advised and represented clients in post-M&A disputes, in financial derivatives litigation, in capital-market-disputes relating to the Wirecard insolvency, in lawsuits in connection with Cum/Cum and Cum/Ex transactions as well as in disputes in connection with the Diesel scandal. The values at stake in the cases the team litigates are usually high. Members of Wendelstein's Dispute Resolution team also act as party representatives and arbitrators in national and international arbitration proceedings.

Wendelstein's Dispute Resolution Team is led by Frank Fischer, Karl Thomas Koenen and Dr Moritz Meister.

The Corporate/M&A team advises buyers and sellers in all phases of M&A-transactions as well as on private equity, venture capital, real estate transactions, tax law, financing, restructuring and capital markets law, often in an international context. Due to the firm's experience and its tailor-made approach, Wendelstein is able to provide professional support for transactions of all sizes. The firm is mostly active in the mid-cap sector. Depending on the client's requirements, Wendelstein also takes over the comprehensive process organisation and process coordination or advice on selected special topics in M&A-contexts. Its client base includes corporate clients, private equity funds, venture capital funds, family offices, privately owned groups and other investors, international corporations and consortia as well as individual entrepreneurs and board members.
