Across all phases of the PE life cycle, and for cross-border matters, Greenberg Traurig Germany remains a solid choice in the mid-cap range. The firm’s healthcare and life sciences prowess was bolstered by the February 2025 establishment of a Munich office, the firm’s second in Germany. Stephan Rau is the key corporate and M&A contact there, while the Berlin office houses practice head Nicolai Lagoni, who has particular expertise with pharmaceutical, life sciences, tech, real estate and automotive clients. Co-heads of the corporate group, Peter Schorling and Henrik Armah are additional senior contacts, while Oliver Markmann acts for a diverse range of PE and growth equity clients.
