Norton Rose Fulbright advises management and supervisory boards, multinational companies, financial investors and medium-sized companies on cross-border restructurings and changes of legal status, general meetings, corporate governance and ongoing corporate issues. Sector-wise, the practice often acts in the energy, infrastructure, automotive and real estate industries. In addition to public takeovers, practice head Nils Rahlf also routinely handles M&A, PE and VC transactions. In January 2024, the firm lost Marina Arntzen (corporate law and ESG) to Ashurst LLP, followed by Sebastian Frech (reorganisations, restructurings, joint ventures) to GÖRG Partnerschaft von Rechtsanwälten mbB a month later.
