GSK Stockmann is primarily visible in the financial services, energy, real estate and public sectors and assists with small-cap cross-border transactions including public takeovers, venture capital deals and joint ventures. In November 2023, transactional capacities were strengthened with the arrival of Robert Korndörfer, previously senior counsel at Noerr, who assisted strategic and financial investors in the mid-cap segment; he also has industry expertise in the energy, infrastructure and the digital economy sectors. Private equity and venture capital specialist Max Wilmanns (health and real estate) and the joint venture and M&A-savvy Jennifer Bierly (real estate) jointly lead the M&A team, after former practice head Markus Söhnchen (private equity and venture capital in the regulated sectors) joined GÖRG Partnerschaft von Rechtsanwälten mbB in July 2023; corporate finance and fintech consultant Tobias Riethmüller joined the same firm in March 2023.
