Oded Schein joins LARK as a new partner

In September, transaction and tax expert Dr. Oded Schein joins the Business Law Powerhouse LARK to strengthen the private equity practice group while continuing to focus on his previous areas of expertise at the interface between transaction and tax law.

He began his career at Kirkland & Ellis, where he was appointed equity partner in 2015 and took over as head of the German tax practice two years later. He has been advising on transaction law and, in particular, German and international tax law for around 20 years and has an excellent network in the private equity scene.

In addition, Dr. Oded Schein focuses on corporate restructuring in crisis situations, an area of expertise he already established during his time as a tax partner at Kirkland & Ellis.

“I am very much looking forward to joining LARK’s highly competent and experienced team and accompanying the firm’s further growth,” says Dr. Oded Schein about his move to LARK.

Dr. Ludger Schult, LARK co-founder and private equity partner, adds: “With Dr. Oded Schein, we are gaining a top-class expert for our growing transaction and tax practice. We are very much looking forward to working with him.”
