M&A
CMS' broad sector coverage includes energy, climate protection, infrastructure, life sciences, healthcare, automotive, technology and the digital sector. The team advises German and international corporations, medium-sized and family-owned companies operating within these sectors on transactions of all sizes. In addition to company acquisitions and sales, this also includes the establishment of joint ventures. Antje Becker-Boley (M&A, investments and restructuring in the energy sector), Richard Mitterhuber, who frequently assists strategic investors and medium-sized companies with cross-border transactions, particularly in the tech sector, and Jacob Siebert (buy-outs and public takeovers) jointly head the team. While Frederike Volkmann (M&A, VC and corporate) and Laura Christin Stein (PE and joint ventures) made partner in January 2024, the group further expanded its partner level by welcoming Markus Herz and Peter Polke from King & Wood Mallesons in the same month, thereby boosting its capacity to support cross-border M&A and PE transactions.
