Boris Dürr

Expert M&A Counsel for a Complex Cross-Border Transaction

We engaged Boris Dürr of Heuking to advise on the acquisition of a niche manufacturing company based in Bavaria. As a San Francisco-based tech firm, navigating German corporate law and the intricacies of a Mittelstand business was daunting. Boris’s deep expertise in Mergers and Acquisitions Law was immediately apparent. His dual perspective, practicing in Munich with a clear understanding of international (and specifically American) business expectations, was invaluable. He guided us through the due diligence process with meticulous attention to detail, identifying several non-obvious liabilities in the target’s supplier contracts that saved us significant future headache. His recognition by Best Lawyers was well-earned, reflected in his strategic negotiation of the purchase agreement’s indemnity clauses. The transaction closed smoothly, largely due to his steady hand. The only slight critique, and reason for not a full five stars, was that during the peak intensity of final negotiations, response times to non-urgent emails could occasionally stretch to 24-48 hours. However, for critical matters, he was always available. I would confidently recommend Boris for any cross-border M&A work requiring German legal expertise.
