Frankfurt—Global law firm Dentons is expanding its Real Estate practice with the recruitment of Dr. Maximilian Schulte as a partner. He joined the Frankfurt office on January 1, 2023. He brings 15 years of experience as a real estate lawyer and notary.

“I am very pleased that we are strengthening our practice with the addition of Maximilian Schulte, who has a proven track record in real estate acquisition, sale and financing transactions. Following the successful building of our Real Estate team in Munich and Düsseldorf, we are now expanding our team in Frankfurt. Over the last years, we have developed our offering through organic growth and lateral hires and have built up an integrated Real Estate practice that works closely together across all locations in Germany and around the world,” says Dirk-Reiner Voss, Head of the Real Estate practice in Germany.

Maximilian Schulte advises clients on complex real estate transactions and real estate financing. He is an experienced advisor on commercial and residential portfolio deals and project development. He also advises on asset management and corporate law and assists clients in repositioning properties, taking into account fund-specific requirements. Recently, he advised an international investment manager on the repositioning and subsequent sale of a commercial and residential quarter in Cologne and a project developer on the purchase of a former industrial and commercial site of 10 hectares in Berlin for comprehensive revitalization and redevelopment. He joins Dentons from HFK Rechtsanwälte, having previously worked at Noerr and Freshfields.

Maximilian Schulte commented on his move: “The development of Dentons' Real Estate practice has been particularly dynamic in recent years. I am very pleased to be able to contribute my transaction expertise in this global environment, while also providing notarial services in Frankfurt.”
