Projects
Sale of a bicycle hire platform

As part of the sale of a globally operating online platform for the hire of bicycles to a competitor, we advised the buyer comprehensively on the preparation and handling of the asset deal. The core issues of the transactions concerned the granting of rights of use to the software solutions that were also sold, the transfer of domains and the assumption of supplier contracts.

Successful joint venture: German start-up in China

We advised a German start-up in the field of sustainable mobility on contract negotiations with a Chinese contractual partner. The client’s product was to be used extensively in major Chinese cities as part of a joint venture. Our advice focussed primarily on corporate and IP law.

Tech-Asset-Deal im Schienennetzinfrastrukturbereich

We advised on the sale of a technology in the field of railway network infrastructure in the form of an asset deal. This primarily involved questions of IP law and software purchase law. This was linked to a subsequent agreement on advisory services by the seller.
