Global law firm White & Case LLP has expanded its Global Mergers & Acquisitions Practice and Global Technology Industry Group with the addition of Norman Röchert as a partner in Germany.
“Norman’s addition supports our continued growth in technology, a strategic priority globally for our Firm,” said White & Case partner Dan Turgel, co-head of the Firm’s Global Technology Industry Group. “His focus across key technologies working with cutting edge venture and late-stage growth funds, as well as exciting fast growth companies, is an ideal fit with the increased demand from our tech clients for support navigating an exceptionally complex landscape.”
Recognized as one of the leading tech lawyers in Germany, Norman advises international growth funds, financial sponsors, growth companies and founders operating in key emerging technologies such as AI, defense tech, energy transition and software for financial institutions, including leading US and UK venture and growth funds that are among the most active global growth investors and a range of European fast growth companies.
He also has experience advising on complex corporate finance matters, including initial public offerings and other stock exchange-related matters. Norman joins White & Case from Taylor Wessing, where he was partner and co-chair of the international technology, media & communications sector group, and brings nearly 20 years of experience.
White & Case partner Karsten Wöckener, head of Germany, said: “White & Case is one of the leading international firms in Germany and Norman, who has a strong reputation as a leader in technology, adds further depth to our team. Germany remains a hub for innovation and our practice sits at the forefront of the industry, supporting our tech clients across a wide range of deals and disputes.”
Norman’s arrival is the latest in a string of recent strategic lateral partner additions by White & Case in its Global Technology Industry Group, including Nicholas Boyle in Sydney, George Gryllos in Brussels, David Stone, Adrian Dykes, Karla Hughes and Dan Reavill in London and Rahul Rao in Washington, DC.
