Clifford Chance
The ‘responsive and business focused’ team at Clifford Chance has an excellent reputation among myriad domestic and international corporates and private equity sponsors, which are appreciative of its ability to combine in-depth local knowledge with an international mindset enhanced by the firm’s global network. Combining strong financial services regulatory nous with significant corporate transactional sensibilities, senior partner Christian Kremer remains a popular choice among financial institutions and insurers on M&A matters. Saskia Myners also continues to impress since joining the firm in 2022 from PwC Legal Luxembourg, providing ’efficient and very business focused’ advice to clients, particularly in the context of private equity and real estate transactions. Managing partner Katia Gauzès rounds out the offering at a partner level and co-heads the team alongside Kremer and Myners.
