Osborne Clarke Boosts Its Expertise By Adding Dr Alexander Thomas And Christina König
They are specialists in stock corporation and Capital Market Law
Osborne Clarke has announced the addition of Alexander Thomas as a Partner in Munich. Christina König has joined as a Senior Associate as part of his team.
Corporate, equity and capital markets law advice is becoming increasingly challenging for companies due to complex regulations.
Dr Björn Hürten, the Co-Head of the corporate practice group at Osborne Clarke, stated, “Alexander Thomas joining us is a crucial element in the strategic development of our practice group within the corporate pillar and in strengthening our advisory services in capital markets law, in conjunction with our banking and capital markets practice group.”
Apart from the focus on M&A and venture capital, the corporate law sector led by Susanne Kühlthau is also being expanded.
Kühlthau stated, “Corporate law matters are of very high relevance to many of our clients. To offer 'full service' with a large team, we are broadening our scope with strong support.”
Meanwhile, Thomas has been serving GSK Stockmann since 2022. He advised companies on stock and capital markets law, managing general meetings, stock exchange obligations, public takeovers, listings, capital measures, and preparation of securities prospectuses for equity and bond issues.
König worked as a lawyer in Thomas’ team since 2024. She focussed on equity and group law advice for listed companies, including corporate governance, and supporting general meetings of listed companies.
Speaking on his appointment, Thomas said, “The high level of specialization at Osborne Clarke, combined with cross-practice group expertise, provides an ideal foundation for further expanding advisory services in stock and capital markets law from my perspective. The strong international network can also be particularly helpful. I am pleased to be a part of this large and dynamic team.”
