Florian Lechner

Expert M&A Counsel for Our Cross-Border Acquisition

Our company, based in Indianapolis, recently navigated a complex acquisition of a mid-sized manufacturing firm with significant operations in Germany. This cross-border element introduced layers of regulatory and contractual complexity that demanded an attorney with specific, nuanced expertise. Engaging Florian Lechner at McDermott Will & Schulte proved to be the decisive factor in our success. While his primary practice is in Frankfurt, his deep understanding of the international M&A landscape, particularly the interplay between U.S. and German corporate law, was immediately apparent. His recognition in Mergers and Acquisitions Law was not just a credential; it was evident in his strategic foresight. Florian meticulously guided us through the due diligence process, identifying potential liabilities in the target's European supply chain agreements that others had missed. He negotiated key indemnity clauses with a precision that protected our interests without derailing the deal's momentum. Despite his relatively short time in practice, his command of the material and calm, professional demeanor instilled confidence in our entire executive team. The transaction closed on schedule, and the post-acquisition integration has been seamless, largely due to the robust framework he helped establish. We secured not just a successful outcome, but a trusted advisor for future European ventures.
