Colo­gne — Heuking Kühn Lüer Wojtek wins M&A expert Dr. Oliver von Rosen­berg (photo) toge­ther with team from Görg. Dr. Oliver von Rosen­berg, LL.M. (54) and Dr. Alex­an­der Jüngst (37) will join the Colo­gne office of Heuking Kühn Lüer Wojtek as equity part­ners as of Janu­ary 1, 2020. Toge­ther with them, asso­cia­tes Dr. Kers­tin Goeck and Maxi­mi­lian Spit­z­horn-Storck join Heuking from Görg.

The renow­ned M&A part­ner von Rosen­berg has many years of expe­ri­ence in advi­sing on German and cross-border M&A tran­sac­tions. His clients include large private equity funds and compa­nies in the energy sector. With his team, he regu­larly advi­ses medium-sized compa­nies and large family busi­nesses as well as family offices. He also has exten­sive exper­tise in the area of restructuring.

Dr. Oliver von Rosen­berg comple­ted his law studies at the Ruhr Univer­sity Bochum and George­town Univer­sity Law Center. In 1999, he worked as Foreign Coun­sel at one of the leading law firms in the U.S. in Los Ange­les. Prior to joining Görg in 2016, von Rosen­berg was a part­ner (since 1995 as an attor­ney) at Fresh­fields Bruck­haus Derin­ger from 2002 to 2016. In his subse­quent three years as a part­ner at Görg, he contin­ued to secure manda­tes for large cap funds such as CVC Capi­tal Part­ners, Ardian and Oakley, as well as nume­rous large medium-sized compa­nies for his team.

Dr. Alex­an­der Jüngst has exten­sive expe­ri­ence in advi­sing on M&A and private equity tran­sac­tions as well as restruc­tu­ring. In addi­tion to tran­sac­tion expe­ri­ence, Jüngst also has special exper­tise in stock corpo­ra­tion and group law, limi­ted liabi­lity company law, corpo­rate gover­nance and capi­tal markets law.

Jüngst comple­ted his law studies at the Albert Ludwig Univer­sity in Frei­burg im Breis­gau, the Univer­sité de Lausanne, Switz­er­land, and the Univer­sity of Colo­gne. He star­ted his career at Link­la­ters in Corporate/M&A before joining Görg in Janu­ary 2019.

“We are extre­mely plea­sed to have Dr. Oliver von Rosen­berg and Dr. Alex­an­der Jüngst join us with their asso­cia­tes. The expe­ri­en­ced colle­ague Dr. von Rosen­berg and his team are an excel­lent addi­tion to our Corporate/M&A prac­tice,” said Dr. Pär Johans­son, Mana­ging Part­ner of the firm and based in Colo­gne. “With the four new addi­ti­ons, we are expan­ding our exper­tise in M&A not only in Colo­gne, but across all firms.”

Dr. Oliver von Rosen­berg is also convin­ced that the change is wort­hwhile for both sides. “I am looking forward to my new role at a firm that has one of its main areas of focus in M&A,” von Rosen­berg said of his team’s move.
