M&A
Schalast Law | Tax's corporate and M&A team routinely advises German corporations, including leading manufacturers such as the Viessmann Group, as well as PE investors on transactions in the mid- and small-cap sphere, including share and minority acquisitions and joint ventures as well as related corporate and tax law structuring. This cross-practice approach is also mirrored by the practice lead: in addition to M&A, Christoph Schalast is also well versed in real estate, banking and financial market law, while Gregor Wedell handles transactions as well as corporate restructurings. At the beginning of 2024, the team was strengthened by the arrival of Joachim Habetha (advice to companies, family offices and managing directors) from Hogan Lovells International LLP and Jens Ekkenga (stock corporation law) from Covington & Burling LLP.
