Strengthened on the transactional front by the arrival in October 2023 of Anna Gassner from Luther S.A., who is adept at handling both private equity/venture capital and strategic investor-led work, GSK Stockmann's 'very collaborative, helpful and responsive team' continues to gain traction in the market in relation to both local and cross-border M&A transactions. For cross-border matters, the team often works alongside practitioners from its German offices, including in relation to corporate real estate mandates, an area that Gassner's co-head Philipp Moessner excels in.
