Effective January 1, 2020, Dr. Oliver von Rosenberg, LL.M. (54) and Dr. Alexander Jüngst (37) will join Heuking Kühn Lüer Wojtek’s Cologne office as Equity Partners. Moving from Görg to Heuking, they will be accompanied by Associates Dr. Kerstin Goeck and Maximilian Spitzhorn-Storck.

In addition, he has extensive expertise in reorganization.
Dr. Oliver von Rosenberg studied law at Ruhr University Bochum and Georgetown University Law Center. In 1999, he worked as a foreign counsel for one of the leading U.S. law firms in Los Angeles. Prior to joining Görg from Rosenberg in 2016, he was Partner at Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer from 2002 to 2016 (where he had worked as a lawyer since 1995). During his subsequent three years as Partner at Görg, he continued to gain clients in the large-cap funds sector for his team, including CVC Capital Partners, Ardian, and Oakley, as well as numerous large medium-sized companies.
Dr. Alexander Jüngst has extensive experience in advising on M&A and private equity transactions as well as reorganization. In addition to his transaction experience, he also has particular expertise in stock corporation law and group law, the law governing German limited liability companies, corporate governance, and capital market law.
Jüngst studied law at Albert Ludwig University Freiburg im Breisgau, Université de Lausanne, Switzerland, and Cologne University. He started his career at Linklaters in the Corporate/M&A department prior to joining Görg in January 2019.
“We are delighted to have been able to recruit Dr. Oliver von Rosenberg and Dr. Alexander Jüngst with their Associates. The experienced peer Dr. von Rosenberg and his team are an excellent addition to our Corporate/M&A practice,” said Dr. Pär Johansson, Cologne-based Managing Partner of the firm. “With the four new team members, we are expanding our expertise in M&A not only in Cologne, but across the law firm.”
Dr. Oliver von Rosenberg is equally convinced that the change is worthwhile for both sides. “I am looking forward to my new role in a law firm that places a key focus on M&A,” said von Rosenberg about his team’s move.
