Baker Tilly recently announced the joining of real estate lawyers Dr. Hendrik Theismann and Michael Mehler. In addition to the hire of the Munich-based expert for foreign trade, customs and sustainable business, Sebastian Billig, in May, at the beginning of the year the Simon Parviz, specialist attorney for construction and architectural law and notary, also joined Baker Tilly with a total team of nine.

"We are pleased to consistently continue the targeted expansion and professionalization of our existing advisory portfolio in the important areas of labor law and data privacy law with Dr. Jörg Buschbaum.
