Thanks to the expertise in funds, distressed M&A and infrastructure transactions as well as employment, tax, banking and antitrust law, the team advises on the entire private equity value chain. The practice primarily assists with mid-cap transactions and is jointly led by Volker Junghanns and Robert Bastian. Cross-border matters are frequently handled in cooperation with the locations in London, Amsterdam and the US.
