Corporate/M&A; in the defence sector

In Germany, we have been one of the leading law firms for M&A transactions for many years, whether on the seller or buyer side, in auctions or in negotiations with only one party. Defence and security has traditionally been a key focus area for our team. Most of our aerospace deals have a clear connection to this sector.

Our M&A team handles a large number of cross-border and domestic transactions each year, including merger control and foreign trade law approvals. We not only provide support with structuring (e.g. share deals, asset deals, prior carve-outs, etc.), but also with setting up and accompanying the transaction process itself (including the coordination of international law firms). Internationally, we can draw on several networks and, in addition, often on relationships with other law firms that have grown over decades, enabling us to flexibly find the right set-up for each specific case. 

In corporate law, one of our main areas of focus is supporting our clients in the formation of companies of all legal forms, conversion measures and joint ventures.

Our main areas of practice:


Purchase and sale of companies 


Transaction support (including due diligence)


Joint ventures


Restructuring and reorganisations 


Corporate housekeeping


Advising corporate bodies and members of corporate bodies 


Corporate litigation
