CMS advises Dorsch Group on acquisition of engineering consultancy Spiekermann

28/10/2020

Cologne – The Dorsch Group is taking over the business operations and employees of Spiekermann GmbH Consulting Engineers with effect from 1 November 2020. Spiekermann filed for insolvency under self-administration in mid-July 2020. The firm’s self-administration team then initiated a structured investor process with the aim of putting the company back on a financially stable footing. The parties agreed not to disclose the purchase price.

A CMS team headed by Dr Malte Bruhns advised the Dorsch Group on all legal aspects of the transaction.

The Dorsch Group, based in Offenbach am Main, describes itself as one of the largest independent planning and consulting groups in Germany. Employing around 2,000 people, it operates internationally through several branches and numerous project offices in more than 40 countries. The range of services covers specialist areas such as airports, transport & infrastructure, water & environment, construction and urban development, oil & gas, development cooperation and asset management. The group realises around 1,000 projects each year.

Spiekermann GmbH Consulting Engineers, which is headquartered in Düsseldorf and has other locations throughout Germany, employed around 180 people in 2019. The firm’s range of services includes transport, the environment, water, construction and civil engineering. Its activities extend from consulting, preparing expert opinions, studies and planning to construction supervision and fiduciary project management.
