Sebas\u00adtian Pauls, co-mana\u00adging part\u00adner<\/strong> of WEIL\u2019s German offices<\/strong> and co-head of the German private equity prac\u00adtice, says: \u201cThis was a clear and logi\u00adcal decis\u00adion for both of us. Kamyar is one of the most outstan\u00adding lawy\u00aders in the market and will imme\u00addia\u00adtely expand our strength in large, complex and stra\u00adte\u00adgi\u00adcally important private equity tran\u00adsac\u00adtions and thus decisi\u00advely drive the next growth phase of our practice.\u201d<\/p>\n WEIL\u2019s global co-head of the private equity prac\u00adtice, Marco Compa\u00adgnoni, says: \u201cKamyar is one of the most renow\u00adned and sought-after private equity and M&A lawy\u00aders in Germany. He advi\u00adses on complex, large-volume Euro\u00adpean and US cross-border tran\u00adsac\u00adtions. We are deligh\u00adted to welcome him to our top Euro\u00adpean team.

Retur\u00adning to WEIL was a logi\u00adcal step for me, as we share a clear commit\u00adment to colla\u00adbo\u00adra\u00adtion and first-class advice for the leading global sponsors.\u201d<\/p>\n Kamyar Abrar\u2019s return follows just three months after Sebas\u00adtian Pauls\u2019 highly acclai\u00admed move from Latham to WEIL with a renow\u00adned team \u2014 inclu\u00adding part\u00adner Susanne Decker, part\u00adner Dr. Andreas Holzgreve and coun\u00adsel Dr. Julia Sch\u00f6\u00adfer. The move was seen throug\u00adhout the indus\u00adtry as a \u201cgame chan\u00adger\u201d for the German legal market and as a signi\u00adfi\u00adcant gene\u00adra\u00adtio\u00adnal change in private equity advice. \u2014 WEIL has recently signi\u00adfi\u00adcantly increased the strength of its Euro\u00adpean private equity prac\u00adtice.
