Linklaters is recognised as having one of the most impressive international practices based in Germany. With teams stationed in Frankfurt, Düsseldorf, Munich, Hamburg and Berlin, the law firm is highly adept at advising both German corporates and international clients on a vast array of cross-border issues. Advisers in Germany regularly project-manage multi-jurisdictional proceedings, drawing on the excellent resources of Linklaters' wider network to deliver an integrated seamless service, as well as collaborating with contacts maintained with other legal practices overseas.
Linklaters' German M&A team has a strong track record of handling high-end, cross-border deals, particularly those relating to the energy sector and other regulated industries. The law firm also maintains a market-leading financing practice, offering clients UK, US and German law advice in-house. Debt capital markets is another area in which Linklaters works effectively on an international scale, providing issuers with expert advice on the full suite of products, and the law firm also possesses strength in investment funds.
Linklaters' dispute resolution and competition/EU law teams also perform highly on international mandates.
