Noerr gains Freshfields partners Goepfert and Brenzinger - The firm expands
its real estate investment practice in Düsseldorf and Frankfurt
Munich, 6 June 2011
International law firm Noerr is significantly expanding its real estate
practice and has won over two prominent Freshfields partners: Dr. Alexander
Goepfert (54) and Christoph Brenzinger (41) will join the Düsseldorf office
of the firm as equity partners, presumably already as of 1 July. Both were
involved in a number of large developments and investments in the past
years and are regarded as leading experts for complex and transnational
real estate transactions. Goepfert, who was just recently named as one of
the 100 leading professionals of the German real estate industry by the
trade press and played a leading role in establishing the German real
estate practice of Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer, will head Noerr's newly
established 'Real Estate Investment Group'.
'The election of Alexander Goepfert and Christoph Brenzinger as partners is
an important step to achieve our strategic goal to rank among the leading
law firms in Germany and Central Europe in growth areas like real estate,'
comments Dr. Tobias Bürgers, one of the law firm's two speakers.
Goepfert and Brenzinger will manage the advice in relation to real estate
investments and financing in cooperation with a team of sector-experienced
Noerr experts who have a special track record in financing, tax structuring
and the management of commercial large-scale projects with a focus on real
estate and environmental law.
'The joining of Alexander Goepfert and Christoph Brenzinger with our firm
is an extraordinary opportunity to significantly expand our capabilities in
real estate business law', underlines Berlin-based Noerr partner Dr. Dirk
Lentfer, co-head of the 'Commercial and Real Estate' section. 'By creating
the new group, we are focussing our excellent know-how in real estate,
finance, tax and corporate in order to offer our clients an integrated
service of the highest standard for all real-estate related matters.'
The new partners and their team will work both from the Noerr office
located in the Düsseldorf media harbour and from the firm's Frankfurt
office. Gregor Barbers, head of the Düsseldorf office, is looking forward
to his new colleagues: 'Here in Düsseldorf, we are consistently pursuing a
growth strategy aimed at providing focussed full service. That is why we
are particularly happy to welcome such prominent colleagues as Alexander
Goepfert and Christoph Brenzinger together with their team, who will
perfectly match our expertise of our office.' In addition, a closer link to
the Frankfurt office will be established. Goepfert will in particular
cooperate with the finance team based in Frankfurt and also maintain a
regular presence at the Frankfurt location.
Goepfert has played a significant part in establishing the German real
estate practice at Freshfields (and its predecessor Bruckhaus Westrick
Heller Löber), and has been an equity partner since 1993 (he joined the law
firm as a laywer in 1986). Goepfert had a leading role in many large-scale
development projects and transactions, including Blackstone/Deutsche Bank,
E.ON/Viterra, Brune/Merrill Lynch/ECE, various portfolio transactions by
Morgan Stanley, as well as the recent acquisition of the Deutsche Post
portfolio by Lone Star. For many years, he has been the adviser of major
owner-managed companies and furthermore has become a well-known expert for
investment protection under public international law.
Brenzinger has been an equity partner of Freshfields since 2007 (he joined
the law firm as a lawyer in 2001) and has made a name for himself
especially with transactions, and here in particular in connection with
private equity investments. Since 2003, for example, he has played a
substantial role in almost all real estate investments or divestment
transactions of Blackstone in Germany as well as in the sales of the
Karstadt department stores by Arcandor.
