Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP's team of German and US lawyers is an experienced advisor on matters entailing a strong US component, such as US IPOs and private placements under Rule 144A, although the practice also has a geographical focus on the DACH region. Issuers and syndicate banks frequently make use of this offering; the practice recently assisted them with capital increases, takeovers and share issuances in addition to (planned) IPOs and dual listings; practice head Stephan Hutter (capital market transactions, M&A, corporate governance and compliance) predominantly leads on these matters.
