address challenges and ensure a seamless acquisition for our client. How did yourself and Kirsten Seeger decide on a strategy to begin on this project and did this strategy have to adapt at all? Initially, Kirsten and I devised a strategy focusing on our particular expertise in IP/ IT and data protection. However, it soon became clear that our client required broader legal support. Leveraging NEUWERK’s cross-disciplinary setup, we swiftly expanded our scope to cover various aspects of German law. This adaptability underscores NEUWERK’s strength in addressing evolving client demands across diverse legal domains—a capability we take great pride in. What areas of German law were necessary to cover for this and if this were neglected what would the outcome of this be? On this particular deal, our NEUWERK teams provided advice on corporate law, employment law, real estate law, corporate finance, commercial contract law, litigation, intellectual property law, information technology law, data protection, Borge, can you tell us your experience during this project and the roles you took on along with your team to ensure a smooth transition for KPS Capital Partners? Throughout this project, my team at NEUWERK played a crucial role in facilitating a smooth transition for KPS Capital Partners. As the IP/IT partner, I collaborated closely with Kirsten Seeger, our Corporate/M&A partner, and the Kirkland & Ellis team in London. Our multidisciplinary team, comprising experts in various legal fields, worked diligently to Lawyer Monthly had the pleasure to speak with Borge Seeger, Partner at NEUWERK to give us some further insight into this transaction: Here at NEUWERK, expertise meets innovation - across disciplines.
