It's VIS time of the year again - last week we welcomed the teams of Munich Moot Association (MMA) e.V. and FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg for a mock hearing in preparation for the oral hearings of this year’s Willem C. Vis International Commercial Arbitration Moot / Vis East Moot. Our arbitral tribunal was super impressed with the team’s advocacy skills and their deep understanding of the facts and legal arguments of this year’s case. Luckily we did not have to decide the case, because you surely convinced us all!
All the best for the upcoming competition - we will be keeping our fingers crossed!

GLNS advised impact private equity fund Vidia Equity on the acquisition of Best Plastic Management GmbH (BPM), a leading company in plastic recycling. BPM currently processes around 20,000 tons of post-industrial plastic waste per year – with Vidia’s support, this capacity is set to increase to up to 60,000 tons. The expansion will result in significant CO₂ savings and make a substantial contribution to the transition toward a net-zero economy. GLNS provided comprehensive advice to Vidia on this transaction with a team led by Georg Lindner, Dr. Patrick Droese, Dr. Anselm Lenhard, Philip Büchler and Nicholas Schildhauer.
