DLA Piper

Plus d’information
With a sector focus on the industrial and technology sectors, DLA Piper routinely assists German and global corporations, including listed companies, with corporate reorganisations, spin-offs, joint ventures and other cooperation projects as well as with ESG, compliance and corporate governance issues. Both practice heads Benjamin Parameswaran (also co-chair of the global corporate group) and Andreas Füchsel primarily act within a transactional context and often handle cross-border issues. In May 2024, the team welcomed Murad Daghles from White & Case LLP; in addition to his substantive expertise in M&A and joint ventures, he also has significant sector expertise in the real estate and infrastructure industries. In January 2025, the firm further strengthened its team with Sebastian Goslar (corporate law, corporate governance, restructuring, M&A) from Linklaters.
