Baker McKenzie sponsors new Legal Innovation Hub “ReInvent Law“ in Frankfurt

ReInvent Law is the first Legal Innovation Hub in Continental Europe.

Overview

Our Germany lawyers work on some of the most significant matters in Europe, including German auto parts manufacturer ZF’s acquisition of Bosch Rexroth’s gearbox division and representing Steag and EVN during arbitration proceedings related to the construction of an €820 million power plant in Duisburg. We also helped German industrial company ThyssenKrupp standardize its employment contracts and transfer agreements in more than 30 countries.

With more than 200 lawyers across our Frankfurt, Munich, Berlin and Dusseldorf offices, we are the go-to firm for German companies, multinationals and financial institutions seeking domestic and cross-border advice in Corporate Law, M&A, Tax, Dispute Resolution, and Banking and Finance. The quality of our work is reflected in the recognition we receive within the legal community. Our Antitrust & Competition and Banking & Finance practices won the International Law Office's 2016 Client Choice Awards for their commitment to client excellence.

We are also market leaders in Employment and IT & Communications, and advise clients based in China on their investment activities in Germany. With our entrepreneurial spirit and efficient project management, we help clients overcome business and legal challenges and execute their global growth strategies.

Our Germany offices work across jurisdictions, industries and practice areas to offer clients local market expertise and cross-border capabilities. We have particular expertise in Antitrust & Competition matters, such as conducting antitrust and competition audits and representing clients in dawn raids and investigations.

As one of the few law firms with a dedicated global Reorganizations practice, our M&A lawyers advise on the tax, corporate, intellectual property, employment, employee benefits, and commercial issues that arise in complex mergers, acquisitions and corporate restructurings.
