Gleiss Lutz is one of the largest full-service German firms. The firm is headquartered in Stuttgart and has offices in Berlin, Brussels, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Hamburg and Munich. In 2022 the firm made a bold strategic move in opening an office London. Gleiss Lutz’s banking and financial regulatory practices, helped by its strong line-up and close integration with other practice areas, have remained a source of strength. In September 2023 the firm added Christian Hissnauer, deepening its offering for banking regulatory, investment, and insurance regulatory. Of note is the firm's growing presence on high stakes and complex restructurings, with a standout record on many of Germany’s leading recent cases, including the restructurings of Leonie, STEAG, Adler Group and Gerry Weber International. The corporate practice added partner Stefan Widder in September 2023. Accomplishments in the corporate space include working on four of the 10 largest recent M&A transactions in Germany, including the acquisitions of Synlab, Software AG, and Vitesco.
