Stephan Rau has made a strategic career move by joining the global law firm Greenberg Traurig. Effective immediately, Rau steps in as a shareholder, merging his expertise within the firm’s private equity and health-care practices in Germany, a move announced on Monday by the firm.
Taking on a significant role, Rau will chair Greenberg Traurig’s European health-care practice. His remit involves advising a mix of private equity and strategic investors, health-care service providers, pharmaceutical and medical technology companies, along with governmental entities. His focus will include private equity investments, mergers and acquisitions deals, and also extend to licensing and reimbursement procedures.
Rau joins Greenberg Traurig from McDermott Will & Emery, where he honed his proficiency in these sectors. His transition underscores the dynamic nature of legal practice groups within large law firms, who frequently rely on lateral hires to bolster specialized teams.
