His capital markets experience on both the issuer’s and underwriters’ side includes many of the largest and most significant IPOs, rights offerings and listings in Germany over the past 25 years. At the same time, Dr. Berrar has advised on many landmark M&A transactions in Germany, thereby particularly shaping the German public M&A market.
