About

Three years ago, Frank Müller had the task of setting up the legal department of real estate company IVG Institutional Funds from scratch, a challenge he has overcome by focusing on ‘operating exactly as the big law firms do: pro-actively, service- and solution-oriented’. Particular career highlights were the company’s major deals, among them Silberturm, Gallileo, Prime-Portfolio and Angerhof, all of which have received significant media attention. The ‘handling of a wide range of tasks with a very small team’ is a daily challenge which is why law firms have to take off time pressure, that is to ‘reduce and not produce work’ and give ‘clear recommendations instead of writing long and expensive memos’.
