Christoph Küster advises financial investors, large German and international groups as well as medium-sized companies on domestic and cross-border M&A transactions, including venture capital, private equity and distressed M&A.

His clients are from the financial services, TMC and automotive industry.

Christoph was admitted to the bar in 2013 and joined CMS in July 2022.
