Dentons announced today that Philipp Windemuth has joined the firm, bringing his Russia/Germany/U.S. Corporate/M&A practice and team with him from Orrick.

Windemuth specializes particularly in M&A, Real Estate, and Financing transactions. H will be based in Dentons’ Moscow and Berlin offices, and joins together with Of Counsels Olga Sandler and Joachim Homeister and Associate Elena Homeister.

After working at Cleary Gottlieb in New York from 1987 and 1991, Windemuth became one of the founders of legacy Salans’ Moscow and St. Petersburg offices. He then left the firm in 2005 to work at White & Case, and moved to Orrick in 2010/2011.

Windemuth is a member of the Russian Venture Capital Association Working Group on Russian Legal Improvement, a member of the US/Russia Legal Innovation Working Group and a member of the Board of the East and Central Europe Association (Germany). He is a native bilingual English and German speaker and is also fluent in Russian.

Florian Schneider, Dentons’ Moscow Office Managing Partner, said of the acquisition that: “We are very enthusiastic about Philipp joining our team. He is a well-known lawyer with prodigious expertise in Russian M&A and financing transactions. The fact that one of our former partners—one of our founders in Russia—is back with the firm, is another positive sign of the impact of Dentons’ combination on our practice.”

Andreas Ziegenhagen, Managing Partner of Dentons Germany, is also pleased: “It couldn't be better. We are always happy to welcome new arrivals, and in this case, we are already familiar with Philipp’s exceptional work as an advisor; this makes the cooperation within the teams easy and safe.”
