Strategic Investment Advice

The German market is a lucrative one for those who make the right investments. We have advised both national and international investors, entrepreneurs, and businesses over a long period as to their options in the German market in the field of venture capital and private equity transactions. Allow us to advise you on investments in complex and regulated industries such as healthcare and life sciences, financial services and insurance as well as in real estate, the consumer and retail industry, the automotive and aviation industries. Once we present our tailored solution, our lawyers will oversee the legal requirements involved with the investments and acquisitions.

In preparing for the investment, our German private equity lawyers carry out the required legal, financial and tax due diligence-processes, use our expertise in contract law in the drafting of investment- and shareholder agreements and mezzanine financial instruments (convertible loans, shareholder loans and silent partnerships). Throughout the assessment of the investment, we thoroughly evaluate the investment to determine whether it is the right one for you. Upon acquisition, our team will carefully manage and moderate disputes with shareholders,  advise on any corporate restructuring and in the drafting of any contracts necessary. Minimizing risk and allowing for a secure exit strategy are key aspects of our investment advice.
