Franz Maurer advises national and international clients on all aspects of real estate law, with a particular focus on complex transactions and strategic asset management. He has extensive experience representing both sellers and buyers in high-value real estate deals, regularly acting at the intersection of commercial tenancy law and investment strategy. His work often involves advising on portfolio transactions, project developments – including in the energy and logistics sectors – and sale-and-lease-back structures.
In addition to his real estate practice, Franz brings broad transactional expertise from advising on M&A projects across a range of industries, including manufacturing, life sciences, technology, and private equity. His involvement in these matters frequently extends beyond purely legal structuring to include the coordination of cross-border teams, the negotiation of complex contractual frameworks, and the alignment of commercial objectives with legal requirements. He has contributed to numerous high-profile transactions involving multinational corporations, strategic investors, and private equity funds, often under tight deadlines and in multi-jurisdictional contexts.
Franz is valued for his pragmatic approach, his precision in handling large-scale contracts, and his ability to bridge legal detail with the broader commercial goals of a transaction. Since joining CMS in 2018, he has built a track record of supporting clients in achieving optimal results in demanding and competitive deal environments. In recognition of his expertise and client commitment, he was appointed Counsel of the firm in 2023.
