integrated German expertise
Our integrated German expertise in these fields enables us to offer our clients high-level legal advice in all areas that are key to the structuring, financing and successful implementation of transactions.
Integrated global approach
By combining the skills and experience of our German lawyers in these areas with the expertise of Milbank’s lawyers based in the US, England and Asia, we offer our clients fully integrated legal advice under German, English and US law. In addition, some of our German lawyers have specific expertise in restructuring, litigation and outsourcing matters. We also maintain close relationships with an established network of lawyers in all major European countries.
Meeting the needs of our clients
Our clients are among the most sophisticated consumers of legal advice and services. We provide clients with a high level of partner involvement and with a lean, highly focused team of lawyers. While we can assemble large and diverse teams of lawyers for due diligence exercises and similar tasks, we recognize that our clients prefer our utilization of smaller, specialized teams that are deeply involved in all aspects of the transaction - one of the key factors that distinguishes us from our competitors.
