Michael-Florian is a leading expert in Sino-foreign transaction business and the founder of the Shanghai and Beijing offices. Under his leadership of more than 30 years, the China practice has developed into one of the most prestigious international practice areas of our firm.

His portfolio includes both nationally and provincially approved projects in China. Florian’s clients include multinational corporations and medium-sized companies as well as individual start-ups, especially technology-driven companies in the automotive and life sciences and healthcare sectors.
In various functions he is committed to improving cooperation between East and West: Florian is Secretary General of the German-Chinese Lawyers’ Association and a member of the board of the German Asia Pacific Business Association.

Lawyer Rankings
Deutschland > Transport > Beratung des Transportsektors
Der Schwerpunkt von Taylor Wessing im Transportsektor liegt in der Beratung zu Fragen der Vermögensfinanzierung, insbesondere in der Gestaltung von Finanzierungsstrukturen für Flugzeuge und Schienenfahrzeuge, aber auch in beihilfe- und vergaberechtlichen Angelegenheiten. Die letztgenannten Themen bilden den Kern der Praxis von Michael Brüggemann, während sich die Planungsrechtpraxis von Of Counsel Norbert Kämper auf Flug- und Binnenschiffhäfen konzentriert. Tobias Schelinski wird für seine IT-Rechtskenntnisse von dem Transportsektor gefragt, und Transaktionen mit Chinabezug gehören zum Beratungsangebot von Michael-Florian Ranft, der vor allem Mandanten aus dem Automobilsektor betreut.
