Maximiliane Prüm: Navigates international restructuring projects and M&A transactions.

Anyone who manages major transformation and transaction projects must not only have sound legal knowledge, but must also be a skilled strategic planner and organizer. Just like Maximiliane Prüm. The corporate law and M&A lawyer regularly manages the legal aspects of international projects such as carve-outs, legal entity reductions and other restructuring measures as well as M&A transactions. Depending on the type of project, she can draw on the support of her KPMG colleagues from the Tax, IT Consulting, Deal Advisory and HR Consulting divisions.

Her mission

Maximiliane manages her clients’ project plans and holds the reins, no matter how many companies in how many countries are involved. Her aim is to manage the projects in such a way that the client expends as little effort as possible and receives a high standard of legal advice. It is important to her that

everything is legally compliant – in every country involved.
schedules are adhered to.
there are no frictional losses between the individual consulting teams, but that they work together efficiently.

Her approach

Maximiliane is not only an expert in German law, but can also ensure the quality of legal documentation in other jurisdictions through her experience in plausibility checks. In addition to legal aspects, she has an eye on the cultural particularities of the countries involved and anticipates these during strategic planning. In projects, she always works together with lawyers from the respective countries – usually from KPMG Law’s international network.

Her focus

Acquisition and sale of companies
Pre-transactional carve-out advice and post-transactional integration advice
Transformation law
