De Brauw partner Arne Grimme has been named ‘Best M&A lawyer of the year 2014′ by the M&A Community.
Arne received the award during the 15th edition of the M&A awards in Amsterdam. He was given this award because he has acted as lead partner in many significant M&A deals in 2014. He has advised Klépierre on the EUR 7.2 billion recommended public exchange offer for Corio, and UNIT4 on the EUR 1.17 billion recommended cash offer by Advent International. Arne also acted as lead counsel to IMCD on its IPO on Euronext Amsterdam and he assisted Gilde Buy Out Partners on selling Nedschroef to PMC for EUR 325 million.
Last year Arne was named 'M&A lawyer of the year' as well. He has been a partner with our firm since 2003.
