German companies and investors from the energy, logistics, retail and technology sectors often rely on Kümmerlein's expertise in small-cap M&A transactions and instruct the team to advise on share and participation sales, add-on acquisitions, joint ventures, distressed M&A and insolvency-related transactions. The team is jointly led by Joachim Gores, who routinely advises corporations and medium-sized companies on cross-border transactions, Stefan Heutz, who assists PE investors and family offices with divestitures and reorganisations, and transaction and restructuring expert Sebastian Longrée. Jan-Felix Wickermann made partner in January 2024 and complements the M&A offering with expertise in commercial, contract and corporate law.
