Klöckner and his team specialise in capital markets transactions and public takeovers, as well as general capital markets, securities and corporate law advice. They have extensive experience in advising issuers, private equity and venture capital investors, as well as investment banks, on IPOs in Germany, other European jurisdictions and the United States (including dual track transactions, SPACs and de-SPACs), rights offerings, accelerated placements of new and existing shares and block trades, as well as PIPE transactions and stock dividends. They also regularly advise on post-listing capital markets obligations and corporate governance issues, as well as on the preparation and conduct of shareholders’ meetings.
