In the review, IFLR 1000 states:

“It has been only two years since Berner Fleck Wettich was founded by Olaf Berner, Carsten Wettich and Thilo Fleck. The firm has a clear focus on corporate work.

A managing partner from an internet company that did M&A work with the firm says: “They did an excellent job in consulting us, drafting the documents and coordinating the overall process. Their strengths, besides their expertise, are their strong social skills that make the team an excellent choice for negotiation situations.” Another client added: “Brilliant performance, excellent legal and business advisors.”

A chief finance officer from the automotive industry says: “The collaboration was always very good. They provided feedback immediately, covered all topics and came up with practical advice instead of a theoretical analysis. I highly recommend them.”

Carsten Wettich was mentioned for “always providing the client with practical advice”.

Thilio Fleck is praised by clients: “Always accessible, great attention to detail. Thilio thinks beyond the obvious, pulls from his experience of other deals and is always available on short-term notice if important things pop up.” Another says: “Brilliant advisor, excellent in all regards.”

A highlight case saw the team advising the HELIOS Hospital Group in relation to its acquisition of the shareholdings of minority shareholders.”
