German and European shareholders, listed companies and investors regularly instruct Milbank to assist with general meetings, management contracts and management remuneration as well as ongoing corporate and capital market issues. This is complemented by expertise in stock corporation law, resulting in a case load that further includes squeeze-outs, share buyback programs and capital increases. Mirroring this broad skill spectrum, the practice lead consists of Ulrike Friese-Dormann (management and supervisory board advice), Christoph Rothenfußer (stock corporation and group law, conversion law), Norbert Rieger (public takeovers, corporate law and M&A), Sebastian Heim (restructuring and insolvency advice), Philipp Klöckner (capital market, securities and corporate law) and Steffen Oppenländer (M&A and PE in the energy sector).
