Germany > Private equity > Transactions
Dentons‘ PE team acts from four German locations and focuses on supporting buy-out transactions. Thanks to the expertise in funds, distressed M&A and infrastructure transactions as well as employment, tax, banking and antitrust law, the team advises on the entire private equity value chain. The practice primarily assists with mid-cap transactions and is jointly led by Volker Junghanns and Robert Bastian. Cross-border matters are frequently handled in cooperation with the locations in London, Amsterdam and the US.
Germany > Industry focus > Telecoms
Dentons‘ team offers a cross-practice approach and advises at the interfaces with M&A as well as regulatory, administrative and contract law; this is also mirrored in the team members’ individual focus areas: Volker Junghanns is a regulation and contract law expert and Christian Miercke, who joined the partner roster in April 2023, frequently acts at the interfaces with state aid and procurement law. This expertise is regularly called upon in connection with commercial contract drafting, product launches, cooperation agreements, telecommunications consumer protection regulations and transactions in the fibre optic and broadband segments. The practice is also experienced in proceedings before the Federal Network Agency.
