Homburger has a new managing partner. The firm’s partnership lineup has appointed Dieter Gericke (pictured) for the role, succeeding Flavio Romerio, who will continue as co-head of the white collar/investigations practice.

The career

Dieter Gericke started his legal career in 1999 as a foreign associate at Wilmer Hale, in Boston, right after graduating from Harvard Law School (LL.M). In 2004, he then moved to Homburger as a partner, to eventually become, six years later, head of the firm’s China focus group. In 2014, he took the lead of Homburger’s corporate and M&A practice team – a role he maintained until his recent nomination to managing partner.

The profile

Dieter Gericke advises a clientele of both public and private companies and investors in matters of cross-border takeovers, mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, spin offs, joint ventures, private equity and capital market transactions. Moreover, his legal experience spans IPOs – an area in which he’s constantly involved – as well as shareholder activism, takeover defense, contested acquisitions, and corporate governance.
