Luther accompanies shareholders of FM Holding GmbH in the successful sale of all shares in MRH Trowe

Based in Bissendorf, Osnabrück, the FM Group is the largest leasing and financing broker for corporate customers in Germany. With Luther's assistance, the group, a financing partner for companies for 40 years, is now part of MRH, a leading provider of insurance and financing solutions for industrial and commercial customers. The innovative online platform leasingGo of the FM Group also receives new growth opportunities through this, as it now expands the digital solution portfolio of MRH and supports digitization in the leasing business.

The legal negotiations for the FM Group were accompanied by the Luther team led by
Dr Eckart Petzold. Through the acquisition, MRH can expand its business fields in the finance segment and comprehensively integrate the leasing sector into its consulting portfolio. The cooperation with FM complements the strategic alignment, as both companies share high growth ambitions and a strong customer focus. The approximately 100 employees of the FM Group strengthen MRH's finance team at a total of 15 locations nationwide.

"Luther accompanied the transaction with a high level of trust and appreciation, thus creating optimal conditions for its success. The cooperation was excellent," says Mathias Fröde, founder of the FM Group. He accompanied the transition together with Wolfgang Müller, while long-standing managing directors Christoph Borgert and Daniel Schweigatz continue to lead the company.
