With a clear focus on the IT sector and technology-driven industries such as life sciences, gaming, green energy and logistics, DLA Piper primarily advises investors and their portfolio companies on mid-cap transactions, including buy-outs, M&A, public takeovers and sale-and-lease-back transactions. In May 2023, Andreas Füchsel took over practice management from Nils Krause (PE, M&A and VC), who remains part of the team. The partner roster was strengthened with the addition of Lars Jessen (restructuring, joint ventures and management participations) from Paul Hastings LLP in September 2022 as well as the appointment of Moritz von Hesberg, who is regularly instructed by portfolio companies of PE and VC funds, in May 2023.
