GreenGate Partners

GreenGate Partners

GreenGate Partners opened in 2022 with offices in Berlin, Hamburg, and Munich, positioning itself at the intersection of German corporate law and private capital. The firm was founded to advise companies, founders, and investors on Gesellschaftsrecht (corporate law), M&A, Venture Capital, and Private Equity transactions, alongside IP/IT, data protection, employment law, and dispute resolution. Its lawyers operate from three of Germany's most active startup and investment hubs. The firm's core work sits in M&A and VC financings, acting as transaction counsel to companies and funds. Practice areas span full deal lifecycles, from growth-stage venture rounds and fund formation through to exit negotiations and mid-market corporate carve-outs. Its broader capabilities in IP/IT and data protection provide supporting coverage for technology-focused transactions. The client base draws on its national footprint, with partners spending time across Berlin's venture ecosystem, Munich's industrial and tech corridor, and Hamburg's trading and media sectors. The team comprises 18 lawyers, including partners with postgraduate legal credentials (LL.M.) across its multiple offices. The firm can structure multi-jurisdictional deals anchored in German corporate law, coordinating with international counsels for cross-border matters. Its Berlin office, located on Friedrichstrasse, sits in the city's central business district, while the Munich office operates from the Prinz-Ludwig-Palais near the city's university and tech quarter. GreenGate's structure as a single partnership across three cities distinguishes it from larger international law firms with headquarters outside Germany. Without a single named managing partner in public materials, the firm operates as an integrated partnership practicing German corporate law for sponsors and companies, offering founder-led legal counsel that mirrors the partnership models of the venture and private capital clients it serves.
