  • 'Very strong in terms of content across all areas, as is to be expected from a law firm of this caliber. Highlights include: (1) excellent collaboration between lawyers across specialist areas (M&A, antitrust law, tax, financing), which makes interaction very smooth for clients. (2) broad coverage of competencies, now further strengthened by the merger between A&O and Sherman, and the ability to put together teams of significant size with strong competencies in a short space of time in order to be able to implement transactions with maximum professionalism, even with an ambitious timeline.'

  • 'Nils Koffka: Proven negotiation expertise, knows many of his negotiating opponents due to his many years of experience and knows how to approach them.

  • 'Sebastian Remberg: “Quarterback” to Nils Koffka. Proven early on a long-term instinct for building customer relationships, will be instrumental for AOS in the further development and expansion of the PE-M&A business in DACH. Strong project management, safe pair of hands. Fights with great commitment for his clients.'
  • 'Jan Holst: Always ready, always paying attention to detail despite the high workload in intensive deal phases and his mentality makes him one of the most pleasant lawyers to work with in Germany.'
  • 'Heike Weber: Expert in complex tax issues. She is excellent at not only preparing the content well, but also communicating it in a clear and concise manner and developing and negotiating suitable provisions in contracts for clients.'
