Real estate service provider ista has opted for the widely recognised legal structure of the Societas Europaea (SE). The new group structure reflects the international focus of the company, combining the operational business in Germany in a newly established European public limited company, which at the same time directly and indirectly controls the majority of the group's international operations.
Hengeler Mueller advised ista on the group reorganisation. The team was led by partner Hartwin Bungert and included partners Christian Wentrup (both Corporate, Düsseldorf) and Christian Hoefs (Employment, Frankfurt), counsel Christian Strothotte as well as associates Matthias Reidt, Moritz Evertz (all Corporate, Düsseldorf) and Katharina Gebhardt (Employment, Frankfurt).
