Established in Frankfurt,
Serving Clients Across Europe

Lexunora was founded in 2010 by Dr. Klaus Brenner and Prof. Margarete Stein with a shared aim: to build a law firm that connects strong corporate legal knowledge with the real-world needs of business leaders.

From a small Frankfurt advisory practice, Lexunora has grown into a 45-lawyer firm supporting clients across 28 jurisdictions. Our offices in London and Zurich reflect our commitment to working close to the markets and clients we serve.

Our practice is known for cross-border M&A, regulatory compliance, corporate governance, and sector-focused advisory for financial services, technology, healthcare, and other growth-driven industries.

As the firm has expanded, we have kept the partner-led approach that shaped our early work. Clients receive senior attention, practical recommendations, and advice built around both legal risk and commercial impact.
