Frankfurt is Germany's leading financial center and an important commercial center. In recognition of this, we established our Frankfurt office in 2001, in the heart of the financial district.
Our Frankfurt office provides a large array of services in diverse practice areas, including our Corporate, Finance, M&A and Tax Groups. Attorneys in our Frankfurt office are fully integrated with our global practice, thus offering seamless advice under German, English and US law. In addition, our network of correspondent law firms, which we established in numerous cross-border transactions, includes preeminent lawyers in a large number of countries.
The Frankfurt finance team focuses on complex cross-border as well as domestic financing transactions and matters. In conjunction with the London and US offices, the Frankfurt lawyers provide comprehensive advice on German, US and English law of debt financings in the public and private markets to banking, private equity, underwriter arranger and corporate clients.
Our German corporate lawyers in Frankfurt and Munich represent corporate clients, listed companies and private equity sponsors in the full range of public and private M&A transactions, corporate reorganizations and other corporate law matters.
All our lawyers are highly qualified practitioners with an international education and background. Our associates participate in comprehensive training programs in Germany, England and the US. Over the course of their career, they attend a twenty-step training program focusing on transactional issues, a comprehensive offsite tax and accounting course taught by our tax practitioners and our innovative Milbank@Harvard program.
Virtually all of our partners and a number of our senior associates have been recognized by the prominent directories as leaders in their respective areas of expertise. They regularly speak at seminars and conferences, publish articles in well-known legal periodicals and teach at universities.
