CHRISTIAN SCHAEFER
PARTNER
Christian is an M&A and corporate / commercial lawyer, based in Vietnam. He buys companies like Paris Hilton buys handbags although he says he’s making sure that clients still like their purchase the day after. Christian went from amateur to pro in law while going from pro to amateur in beach volleyball and is yet unsure whom to blame for that. He is living proof that Germans have a sense of humor or at least that they think they do. While we think he’s a gentle soul, he knows how to fight tooth and nail for his clients. Having lived in Vietnam for more than 10 years, he says he won’t leave before the day when a taxi driver does not try to overcharge him. His favorite clients are those that are fun, rich and always in trouble
