Under the leadership of Frankfurt partner Dr Markus J. Friedl, Pinsent Masons provided the shareholders of UMS Consulting with comprehensive support during the sale of their shares. The advice ranged from transaction structuring to the negotiation of contract documentation and the restructuring of the company’s management.
Markus Friedl comments: “The complex nature of this transaction required specialist M&A expertise, but also competent legal advice that spanned contract and employment law. We’re pleased to have supported UMS Consulting and its shareholders on this deal.”
Stephan Lunau, former majority shareholder of UMS Consulting, said: “Working with the Pinsent Masons team proved to be a good experience. Dr Friedl was always approachable for us and had a firm control of the transaction at all stages.”
