Areas of practice
With over 20 years of experience in the area of M&A, Prof. Dr Hans-Georg Hahn is appropriately qualified to cover a broad range of legal advisory services. His areas of focus are providing comprehensive advice to corporate clients and medium-sized family businesses with regard to national and international acquisitions and sales of businesses, advising on MBOs and MBIs, as well as carrying out complex due diligence reviews.

Vita
