About

Provided by SZA Schilling, Zutt & Anschütz

Corporate

Our corporate practice is one of the cornerstones of the firm and features some of the leading German corporate lawyers. For decades, our clients have relied on our advice on corporate organization and governance, the development and implementation of management structures, the preparation and execution of general and shareholders' meetings, national and cross-border reorganizations and restructurings, joint ventures, transformations, including cross-border measures, co-determination issues, financing issues and corporate housekeeping. We are particularly experienced and highly regarded for high-profile boardroom advice and corporate disputes.

M&A

Our highly experienced transaction team equally enjoys an excellent reputation. We advise our clients on all types of M&A transactions, ranging from public takeovers or large (cross-border) deals over international or domestic mid or small cap transactions to venture capital. We act for strategic and financial investors as well as for portfolio and target companies. Due to our deep roots in the German legal market, we have a particular strength in German Mittelstand transactions. Our advice covers all stages of a transaction, from the optimized structuring to its successful implementation and the integration of newly acquired companies or reinvestment of proceeds from divestments. Our broad spectrum of legal expertise allows us to cover all relevant legal topics in a one-stop-shop approach.
