    Um den Weg für Akquisitionen, Kapitalinvestitionen oder Kreditfinanzierungen frei zu machen, braucht es eine breite Perspektive, Verständnis für die Ziele des Klienten und eine ergebnisorientierte Arbeitsweise. Die Anwälte bei Winston & Strawn setzen sich dafür ein, in jeder Transaktion die Volkswirtschaftslehre zu verstehen, einschließlich der Buchführung und der steuerlichen Auswirkungen. Unsere weltweit tätige Kanzlei bietet Sicherheiten und juristische Dienste im Bereich Fusionen und Übernahmen für multinationale Unternehmen aller Art und Größe sowie für Investmentbanken und sonstige Firmen, die Finanzdienstleistungen erbringen.

    Die europäische Kanzlei verfügt über beträchtliche Erfahrung mit grenzübergreifenden Transaktionen. Unser Team bearbeitet regelmäßig grenzübergreifende Fusionen und Übernahmen, strategische Allianzen und Joint Ventures, Investitionen von privatem Eigenkapital, Kapitalfinanzierung für Unternehmen sowie Projektfinanzierung für eine Reihe von Sektoren einschließlich Öl und Gas, erneuerbare Energie, Metall und Bergbau, Biotechnologie, Produktion und Einzelhandel für Produkte und Dienstleistungen sowie Finanzdienstleistungen und Anlagefonds.

    Wir bei Winston & Strawn glauben an eine Partnerschaft mit unseren Klienten, um ein langfristiges Verhältnis aufzubauen und die Klienten dabei zu unterstützen, ihre geschäftlichen Ziele zu erreichen. Wir nehmen uns Zeit, um die Unternehmen und kommerziellen Ziele unserer Klienten kennen zu lernen und arbeiten hart, um ihnen ausgereifte rechtliche Lösungen zu bieten, die relevant und handelsüblich sind. Grenzübergreifende Unternehmens- und Finanztransaktionen können komplex sein, wir sorgen dafür, dass die Zusammenarbeit mit Ihrer Anwaltskanzlei es nicht ist.
