Stephan Hutter
Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLPCross-border transactions, especially those with a US connection, represent a central pillar of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP's capital markets practice, which therefore often cooperates with its US offices, but also houses separate US securities law expertise in Frankfurt. In addition to classic IPOs and secondary placements, the German team's everyday business also includes SPACs and dual track financing. Practice head Stephan Hutter handles capital markets as well as compliance- and M&A-related issues. Counsels Lukas Greilich and Caspar Schmelzer both have extensive ECM expertise and therefore regularly assist with IPOs and capital increases.
