Dr Nanni Spitzer
With more than 15 years’ experience in M&A transactions (buy-side and sell-side), joint ventures, corporate financings and restructurings, Dr Nanni Spitzer now leads our German Private Equity practice.
She advises national and international companies on all aspects of corporate law, with a particular focus on private equity structures. Her clients include mid-sized companies, established national and international corporates and private equity funds. She regularly supports foreign businesses in establishing and expanding their operations in Germany and has a strong track record in technology, consumer and life sciences related investments and projects.
Nanni studied in Munich and spent various months at an international law firm in Sydney, Australia, during her legal traineeship. After obtaining her PhD, she started her legal career at Osborne Clarke in 2010.
Since then, Nanni has been working on complex transaction structures and leading major international projects – often in collaboration with our other European offices and our partner law firms in the USA.
Since 2022, Nanni heads the Osborne Clarke Munich office and is a member of the German Partnership Council.
From 2022 to 2025, she was the first female member of Osborne Clarke's German management board.
I am deeply committed to issues of sustainability as the responsible and compliant use of limited resources and ensuring sustainable production conditions are becoming increasingly important in a globalised world.
