About

Formerly an equity partner at Clifford Chance and head of legal affairs at Metro, Dr Rolf Giebeler joined defence and automotive powerhouse Rheinmetall as general counsel in March 2015.
An extremely forward-thinking general counsel, Dr Giebeler has prioritised close business cooperation from his legal team since taking over, and always looks to maintain a cutting-edge legal department that is able to provide first-class support to the business.
Among other eye-catching projects that Dr Giebeler has supported, October 2019 saw the company land a €300m armament contract from Hungary for the manufacture of the main armament and fire control systems for 44 Leopard 2 tanks and 24 PzH 2000 self-propelled howitzers.
