In most cases, he represented strategic buyers and has special expertise in a variety of industries including logistics, financial institutions, healthcare and steel.
“We are delighted to add yet another talented and experienced lawyer to our formidable Corporate Advisory team located in Germany’s main financial center,” said David Goldman, partner and head of McDermott’s Corporate Advisory Practice Group. “Andreas has built a very successful practice in both corporate law and M&A transactions in recent years, and we believe that he will be a true asset in helping to grow our Frankfurt office.”
