Under Dominik’s leadership, we will be able to advise on clients who are looking to sell their business, and seek a relevant suitor, as well as advise those looking to buy the right opportunity or looking to partner with another firm.”

In addition to Mergers & Acquisitions, the new practice will also advise on joint ventures (JV), alliances and partnerships, helping its clients find the right partner, structure a deal, and manage partner relationships effectively.
