Dewey Ballantine LLP

International law firm Dewey Ballantine LLP announced that, as the next stage in its German expansion, it has hired private equity corporate partner Dr Benedikt von Schorlemer from the Duesseldorf office of Baker & McKenzie. Dr von Schorlemer will work with the Frankfurt team. This addition follows closely on the heels of the recruitment in May of partners Dr Hanno Berger and Dr Marcus Federle for Dewey Ballantine's newly established Private Equity practice in Frankfurt, which was launched last month. Dr von Schorlemer began his legal career at Baker & McKenzie in Frankfurt and moved to Duesseldorf in 1999 to help Baker & McKenzie establish a new office. He has worked on both corporate M&A and private equity transactions for clients such as E-Plus Mobilfunk, Degussa, Schott Glas, Bridgepoint, Barclays Private Equity and Ventizz Capital Partners. Recently, he advised Littelfuse Inc in the acquisition of a majority stake in the publicly listed Heinrich Industrie AG.
