Beiten Burkhardt is focusing, inter alia, on the advising of German and international clients in connection with mergers as well as the acquisition and sale of companies. Our teams have expertise in all conceivable forms of transaction, such as e.g. public takeovers, bidding procedures, leveraged buy-outs or management buy-outs and buy-ins. We represent companies and financial investors including private equity and venture capital funds.

The successful advising on a complex transaction often requires special know-how in other legal fields, such as e.g. labour law, industrial property protection, real estate law, anti-trust law or tax law. Experts of Beiten Burkhardt working in these fields support the respective M&A team, if required, and, in so doing, ensure and guarantee a prompt, comprehensive and successful implementation of the transaction.

Since hardly any transaction is exclusively confined to Germany, we are assisting our clients - for many years - in cross-border M&A transactions. In those countries, where we are not represented by own offices, we are partnering with top-grade law firms from which we choose – in agreement with the client – one that is best qualified to cope with the respective situation and solve the problems arising. Many years of intensive cooperation with international law firms enable us to smoothly handle international transactions in an integrated team working on the basis of standard conditions. Our client will always have "his" contact person with Beiten Burkhardt who coordinates the entire advisory services within the scope of such a transaction and is responsible for a successful closing.
