Lawyer Overview

Martin Schulz represents clients in cross-border and domestic M&A transactions, joint ventures, venture capital financings, corporate restructurings, and general corporate and commercial matters.

Martin has participated in transactions for well-known clients in many industries, including banking, chemicals, health care, industrial gases, and facility management. Among other M&A transactions, he participated in the €475 million ($604.4 million) sale of Bayer AG's 49.9 percent stake in GE Bayer Silicones GmbH & Co. KG to GE and, ultimately, to Apollo Management L.P.; the sale of the FondsServiceBank business division of DAB Bank AG to Fondsdepot Bank GmbH; the acquisition of Amafilter Group Holding BV by Mahle GmbH; and the acquisition of all shares in Combinature Biopharm AG by MerLion Pharmaceuticals Pte.

Prior to joining the Firm's Munich Office, Martin worked for more than five years for Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer. During that time he was involved in many matters, including the €2.7 bn sale of Messer Griesheim to Air Liquide and the sale of a large German construction and facility management group to a financial investor.
