Greenberg Traurig Germany maintains a clear focus on transactions and VC fund structuring. It has a client list of investors that target high value and emergent industries, and the team has particularly strong reputations in fintech, proptech, biotech and edtech. A trio of lawyers coordinate VC advice: co-chair of the corporate group Peter Schorling; his fellow co-chair Henrik Armah, who has a significant venture capital practice; and Natalie Hsiao, who advises on all aspects of VC transactions. The firm’s additions of Stephan Rau in November 2024 and Björn Biehl in February 2025, both from McDermott Will & Schulte, bolster its broader corporate service.

- 'Great client contact and availability. Focused on the key issues. Detail oriented. Highly recommend.'
- 'Natalie Hsiao has very strong legal VC credentials but she goes well above that - she understands negotiations and the commercial aspects of deals, which is essential for me. In addition, she is well connected within her firm - she connects me to whomever I need, for example the corporate crime team.'
