Axel Pajunk primarily represents domestic and international companies and private equity funds on all aspects of mergers and acquisitions and corporate law. This includes advising shareholders, management and supervisory board members on corporate governance.

Axel Pajunk focuses on advising clients in a broad range of complex cross-border transactions, including corporate reorganizations (including pre- and post-merger restructurings and integration measures), private acquisitions and divestitures, public takeovers, joint ventures, mergers, buy-outs, public-to-private and private investments in public equity (PIPE transactions).

Another focus of Axel Pajunk's practice is the structuring and implementation of employee stock option programs and other forms of employee incentive schemes.

Prior to joining White & Case in 2003, Axel Pajunk was a partner at two other international law firms in Munich.
