Distinguished by its ‘deep expertise and legal excellence’, Clifford Chance is a popular choice among domestic and international companies, as well as financial sponsors, across a range of transactional and ongoing corporate governance and regulatory compliance matters. Much of the M&A work is of a cross-border nature, where the team works seamlessly alongside colleagues in other international offices and is appreciated for its ’deep subject matter knowledge’. Vastly experienced senior partner Christian Kremer can call upon large reserves of institutional knowledge developed over his many years’ involvement at the pinnacle of the market, and continues to advise on both the buy and sell side of transactions in the real estate, energy and financial services sectors, in particular. Saskia Myners is also very active in the real estate and private equity spaces, regularly working alongside colleagues in key European offices on the Luxembourg structuring to facilitate cross-border transactions. Katia Gauzès, who co-heads the team alongside Kremer, is very accomplished at handling private equity-backed M&A, including on behalf of key client Partners Group.
