Member of S&C's Management Committee, Managing partner of the Firm’s Frankfurt office and Co-head of the Global Capital Markets Group.

One of Germany’s leading lawyers for both capital markets and M&A matters. 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.

He is also a seasoned corporate and corporate governance advisor, who counsels clients on a wide range of topics such as shareholder meetings, transformational transactions (e.g. spin-offs/subsidiary IPOs) and post-transaction corporate measures.

This combination of a multidisciplinary transactional practice and a leading advisory role make Dr. Berrar one of the key senior business law advisors in Germany.
