Dr Axel Mühl moves from Haver & Mailänder to Luther
Dr Axel Mühl (42) joined Luther’s Stuttgart Team as a partner on 1 April 2014. Dr Mühl is a specialist in corporate and corporate-related tax law. In his 13 years of practice, Dr Mühl has focused on advising internationally oriented medium- sized enterprises and groups on M&A transactions, complex restructurings and succession planning procedures.
“Luther offers the ideal platform for me to provide comprehensive advice to my clients”, said Dr Axel Mühl about his move to Luther: “In particular, my clients will benefit from Luther’s excellent infrastructure, full-service approach and international focus”.
As a graduate in commercial law (Wirtschaftsjurist), a specialist lawyer for commercial and corporate law (Fachanwalt für Handels- und Gesellschaftsrecht) and a specialist lawyer for tax law (Fachanwalt für Steuerrecht), Dr Mühl focuses on providing corporate law and corporate-related tax law advice. These expertises are invaluable when dealing with corporate restructurings and succession planning. The same applies to the transactions that Dr Mühl handles. He advises both German clients on foreign investments and also foreign investors, from, for example, Russia, China, the United Arab Emirates or Switzerland, on investments in Germany.
“Our strategy in Stuttgart is to further develop the comprehensive advice that we already offer to large mid-sized companies and family-run enterprises. Therefore, it is extremely important that we strengthen our corporate practice area further”, said Dr Ulrich Philippi, Head of Luther’s Stuttgart office. “With the addition of Dr Mühl, we are coming one step further to achieving our goals: he is an experienced and knowledgeable colleague who will contribute greatly to developing the Stuttgart office further.”
