Luther Rechtsanwaltsgesellschaft mbH advises medium-sized businesses, large groups, and financial investors on the full spectrum of corporate law. The firm’s acumen encompasses joint ventures, private equity and venture capital investments, corporate structuring and governance, as well as reorganisations and restructurings. Acquisition financing remains a core strength of the practice, which is also continuing to build its prominence in public M&A transactions. The team is spearheaded by Stefan Galla, who specialises in international restructurings, corporate acquisitions, and joint ventures. The practice was recently bolstered by the promotion of Joachim Heinemann and the addition in London of David von Saucken in January 2025 – both advise on cross-border M&A, restructuring, and financing matters.
