Job Description

Markus Wintterle provides comprehensive legal counsel to his clients in the areas of commercial, business, and corporate law. A key focus of his corporate law practice is strategic consulting and advising on business succession and transactions. In the medical sector, for example, he advises on the establishment and transfer of medical practices, as well as the formation of medical care centers and professional practice groups. He has many years of experience in corporate law disputes and director liability proceedings, as well as in providing ongoing advisory services to corporate bodies. To minimize liability risks, he offers practical solutions for companies in the areas of compliance, corporate organization, and delegation of duties, and assists with their implementation. His expertise is continually refined through extensive lecturing and seminar activities.


Another key focus area is the chemical and chemical-related industries. His practice also centers on areas such as REACH, substance and safety regulations, and environmental law.  In all matters, he supports companies not only in drafting contracts but also in litigation before the courts. He passionately applies his years of litigation experience to benefit his clients in court, whether in shareholder disputes, product liability cases, or nationwide litigation in the agricultural sector (particularly regarding drift damage).
