Ballwanz Immobilien GmbH & Co. KG is a traditional and highly respected company in the Frankfurt real estate market, known for its strong track record, entrepreneurial continuity, and excellent reputation among clients, partners, and the entire market.
As part of a carefully structured succession arrangement, management secures the preservation of the company's legacy through a buy-in while simultaneously opening a new chapter in the company's development under expanded leadership. The transaction combines continuity with renewal—it preserves what has been achieved and creates a solid foundation for future growth and professionalization.
In the course of this transition, Yannick Rosenfeld, a member of management, joined the group of shareholders. This step strengthens long-term continuity by combining entrepreneurial ownership with operational responsibility and leadership from within.
GxG Legal advised throughout the succession and MBI process, including transaction structuring, documentation, and negotiations.
Peter Smeets of Bruski Smeets & Lange advised the founder and the selling shareholder. The transaction was notarized by Dr. Jochen Scheel of A&O Shearman.
This transaction demonstrates how well-prepared business succession, approached early and thoughtfully, can preserve company value, continuity, and reputation while enabling a smooth transition to the next generation of leadership. When succession planning is viewed as a strategic process rather than a one-time event, it secures what has been achieved and positions a company for long-term success.
We congratulate all parties involved on a thoughtful and well-executed transition that secures long-term value beyond a single generation.
