Raue
Raue supports start-ups and investors, including venture capital funds, in financing rounds in the energy, automotive and healthcare sectors. The transaction support in the healthcare sector was recently strengthened with the addition of Nadine Hartung in March 2023, previously at McDermott Will & Emery Rechtsanwälte Steuerberater LLP. Andreas Nelle (PE, VC, M&A) heads the team, which routinely cooperates with the regulatory, employment law, corporate and energy experts. In September 2022, Michael Gläsner (financing rounds for start-ups) moved to Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP.
