The Christmas season reminds us to pause and express our gratitude. We at BRP RENAUD would like to take this opportunity to thank our clients, partners and employees for their trust and cooperation. We wish you a peaceful Christmas season and a successful start to the New Year.

The 74th Deutscher Juristentag e.V., Europe’s largest legal convention, offered exciting and groundbreaking discussions in Stuttgart this year.
From 25 to 27 September 2024, around 2,300 participants discussed key issues from the areas of civil law, labor and social law, criminal law, public law, business law and media law. The resolutions passed at the convention attract a great deal of attention from politicians, scientists and the public. We were honored to have sponsored the conference and thus to have contributed to the further development of the legal landscape.

In collaboration with Best Lawyers, the Handelsblatt published this year for the very first time the “Best Law Firms in Germany” ranking and we are thrilled about the numerous awards we received! With three national and fifteen regional rankings, BRP RENAUD is one of the leading law firms in Germany

BRP RENAUD recommended once again in the latest special issue of FOCUS magazine “Recht & Rat 2024“ [legal issues and advice]: Thanks to our antitrust law practice group and the large number of recommendations we received, we are among the top commercial law firms in Germany. Congratulations to the antitrust law team led by Dr. Martin Beutelmann and Hendrik Howaldt!

KURZ Silosysteme, a company that specializes in silo and plant construction, was majority acquired by the investment company QVM Privatkapital as part of a succession plan. The previous sole shareholders will remain actively involved with a minority share and the managing partner will remain managing director. With a team led by Dr. Axel Neumahr, BRP RENAUD provided comprehensive legal advice to the shareholders of KURZ Silosysteme on this transaction.

KURZ Silosysteme, founded in 1927, designs and manufactures high-quality steel silo systems for bulk materials, among other things, and acts as a reliable partner to international plant manufacturers. Through its successful fusion of state-of-the-art technologies, cross-industry expertise and decades of experience, KURZ Silosysteme has developed into a globally sought-after expert for the engineering and manufacture of silos, as well as complex silo systems.

QVM Privatkapital is an independent, owner-managed investment company that provides equity capital to mid-sized companies in German-speaking regions. The capital is invested by QVM management and a fixed group of successful entrepreneurs.

The acquisition by QVM Privatkapital is intended to ensure that KURZ Silosysteme remains on a successful growth path and achieves further technological advances.
