A&O Shearman

A&O Shearman advises funds, insurance companies and banks on asset deal and share deal transactions across various asset classes, including an increasing number of infrastructure and energy projects, and recently also experienced an increase in instructions concerning distressed transactions. Transactional advice is complemented by expertise in accompanying financing matters and in projects in the digital infrastructure and energy sphere, which is not least due to the practice's close cooperation with the fund, financing and private equity teams. In keeping with the practice's focus, practice head Jochen Scheel also advises clients from Europe, the US and the Middle East on the purchase and sale of often residential, commercial and logistics portfolios, while Christian Hilmes counts transactions related to data centers and healthcare facilities, the restructuring of portfolios and tenancy law issues among his strengths.
