M&A
German and international corporations from the energy, insurance, technology and automotive sectors regularly rely on Norton Rose Fulbright's M&A expertise in mid-cap transactions, including distressed M&A and related restructuring measures, joint ventures, carve-outs and divestments. Clients also benefit from cross-practice and cross-location collaboration. Nils Rahlf, who is experienced in cross-border M&A, PE and VC transactions, heads the practice and is supported by Katrin Stieß, who frequently assists technology companies and financial investors, among others. While the group welcomed Valerian von Richthofen (M&A in the energy sector) from Pinsent Masons Rechtsanwälte Steuerberater Solicitors Partnerschaft mbB in January 2024, it also saw Sven Schweneke (cross-border M&A and PE transactions) leave for Taylor Wessing in May 2024.
