Dr. Sandra Schuh, LL.M.

I advise strategic investors and private equity firms on domestic and cross-border M&A transactions, corporate law issues, joint ventures, and restructurings – including buy & build strategies.

My focus is on M&A transactions of all sizes: from traditional corporate acquisitions and private equity deals to joint ventures. I advise both strategic advisers and private equity investors as well as their portfolio companies – from acquisition through buy-and-build strategies to exit preparation. I bring particular expertise in the energy, technology and automotive sectors.

Beyond transactions, I support companies in optimising their group structures, corporate restructurings and corporate governance matters. I serve as a trusted adviser to my clients on entity management and ongoing corporate and commercial law issues.

A special focus of my practice is advising international companies and investors – particularly Japanese clients – on market entry into Germany and the EU, as well as establishing and developing their German subsidiaries.

M&A is a matter of negotiation – and trust. In complex transactions, I maintain oversight and develop pragmatic solutions that work in practice. My clients value my combination of legal precision and commercial thinking. The result: clear strategies, robust agreements and an adviser who not only thinks ahead but also keeps the perspectives of all parties in view.
