Overview
Mergers and acquisitions can be the best way to drive the growth of your business. But in today's business environment, M&A deals are more complicated than ever before.
Cross-border matters are often a part of any transaction. To handle the complexities of these deals, you require lawyers who have strong expertise in the sector in which you operate - and have an equally strong grasp of the bigger international picture.
At Gowling WLG, we offer you first-class legal service whenever and wherever you need it throughout the M&A process. We do this by combining in-depth sector knowledge with an unparalleled understanding of the scope of services required in your transaction.
We regularly support major listed (domestic and foreign) companies, medium-sized businesses and financial investors. We advise a number of the family-controlled Mittelstand companies, many of which are true hidden champions.

Our offices in Stuttgart and Munich have significant strengths and expertise in all things international and cross-border.
