More informationMore information

Gleiss Lutz's broad practice continues to impress with its support of German corporates in large and mid-cap M&A transactions, including carve-outs, joint ventures, public takeovers and distressed transactions. Family-run companies and investors also rely on the group's transactional expertise as well as its additional sectoral competencies in the healthcare, financial services, real estate and infrastructure industries, among others. In January 2024, Patrick Mossler (M&A, distressed M&A, joint ventures) took over the practice lead from Ralf Morshäuser, who continues to support the team in cross-border M&A and PE transactions. Other key contacts include Christan Cascante (public takeovers, PE and cross-border transactions), Jochen Tyrolt (cross-border transactions and carve-outs in the automotive industry) and Moritz Alexander Riesener (carve-outs), who made partner in January 2024.
