Profile

Efficient, responsive and effective corporate counsel

Andre Fiebig is an experienced corporate lawyer who advises companies of all sizes — based in the U.S. and abroad — on a range of corporate, transactional, regulatory and other issues. With clients in the U.S. and Europe, Andre focuses on:

  • Mergers and acquisitions (M&A)
  • Startups and venture capital
  • Joint ventures
  • Commercial law
  • Antitrust and competition law
  • Regulatory compliance, advice and training

Andre also serves as U.S. legal counsel assisting foreign companies doing business in the United States to effectively and efficiently resolve their legal and business issues by leveraging the knowledge of a team of approximately 550 attorneys at Quarles.

Andre’s clients know him to be highly responsive, delivering solutions to both strategic and day-to-day operational issues with equal skill. They know they can expect legal and business counsel that is transparent and practical — presenting options as well as recommendations — and that Andre works efficiently to advance their business objectives.

Andre is a dual citizen of Germany and the United States and is fluent in English and German. Prior to joining Quarles, he was a partner with firms in Chicago, Germany and Belgium.
