Die M&A-Praxis von Dentons berät nationale und internationale Unternehmen, einschließlich DAX-Unternehmen, sowie PE-Investoren bei Mid-Cap-Transaktionen. Das Kompetenzspektrum erstreckt sich von Joint Ventures, Konzernstrukturierungen und Distressed M&A über konzern- und aktienrechtliche Themen bis hin zu regulatorischen Sachverhalten. Sektoriell bewegt man sich hierbei oftmals in den Bereichen Energie, Healthcare, Pharma und Finanzdienstleistungen. Geleitet wird die Praxis von einem Trio bestehend aus Rebekka Hye-Knudsen (M&A, PE, VC), Alexander von Bergwelt (M&A, Joint Ventures und PE in den Bereichen Medien und Automotive) und dem Gesellschaftsrechtsexperten Robert Weber. Im April 2024 erweiterte man die Partnerriege durch die Ernennung von Tobias Bünten (Aktienrecht, Umstrukturierungen und Konzernrecht). Zuvor verlor man im Januar 2024 Tim Heitling und Thomas Dörmer an Hogan Lovells International LLP; beide legen in der Transaktionsarbeit den Fokus auf die Bereiche Energie und Infrastruktur.
