Dirk-Reiner Voss, Head of the Real Estate practice in Germany asserted, "Maximilian Schulte, who has experience with real estate acquisition, sale, and financing transactions, is joining our practice, and I couldn't be happier about it. After successfully establishing our real estate teams in Düsseldorf and Munich, we are now growing our team in Frankfurt.

We also have built up a combined Real Estate practice across all locations in Germany and world-wide that jointly work together."

He most recently assisted a project developer with the purchase of a 10 hectare former industrial and commercial site in Berlin for extensive revitalization and redevelopment as well as an international investment manager with the repositioning and subsequent sale of a commercial and residential neighborhood in Cologne.

He worked at Noerr and Freshfields before leaving HFK Rechtsanwälte to join Dentons.
