M&A
Eversheds Sutherland advises large and medium-sized companies as well as financial and private equity investors on complex cross-border transactions, while the private capital practice focuses on assisting German family offices with national transactions. In Munich, Anthony Cross focuses on M&A transactions, restructurings and joint ventures, while new practice head Steffen Schneipp is particularly well versed in international PE and M&A transactions; the latter joined from PwC Legal (PricewaterhouseCoopers Legal AG Rechtsanwaltsgesellschaft) in October 2022 to open the firm's new Frankfurt office in January 2023, which also saw the arrival of notary and corporate finance expert Silke Gantzckow from Baker McKenzie in May 2023. The Frankfurt M&A practice was further strengthened in January 2024 with the arrival of two partners from King & Wood Mallesons: Sandra Link and Hui Zhao both provide comprehensive advice on transactions and corporate law and have extensive experience in supporting Chinese investors and companies. Michael Prüßner, Maximilian Findeisen and Sven Schweneke joined Norton Rose Fulbright in autumn 2022 to strengthen the M&A practice there, while Werner Brickwedde, who focuses on cross-border M&A, joined Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP in April 2023.
