Highlighted for its ‘unique expertise in major cases’, Homburger draws superlative praise for its capacity to handle high-profile complex transactions for blue-chip companies; the team demonstrates excellence in relation to contentious merger control proceedings, which routinely span multiple jurisdictions. The ’knowledgeable, experienced and business oriented’ Marcel Dietrich spearheads the firm’s competition offering with his extensive experience in regulated markets such as energy, healthcare, and transport. Veteran practitioner Franz Hoffet possesses vast expertise across the full spectrum of competition and antitrust law, while the ‘fantastic’ Richard Stäuber bolsters the practice with his strengths in distribution arrangements, cooperation projects, and license agreements.
