His practice focuses on structuring, monitoring, and leading large and complex transactions, including forward deals, as well as sale and lease back structures throughout Europe. 

Given his experience in the Anglo Saxon industry, Christian also closely advises investors and financial institutions on workout issues, in addition to the acquisition – and liquidation of – complex loan portfolios, while developing and implementing corresponding business plans related to these legal proceedings.

With a focus on Germany, France and Israel, Christian advises a variety of prominent national and international private equity and hedge funds, as well as real estate investors, developers, insurance companies, senior lenders and servicers around the globe.
