SKW Schwarz Rechtsanwälte advised the founder of post-production company Scheune München mediaproduction GmbH on the sale of the company to TransPerfect, New York.

Scheune München offers audio and video post-production for the media and entertainment industry. Since its inception in 2012, the company has collaborated with more than 200 clients, including Sky Media, The History Channel, and the BBC. Founder and Managing Director Daniel Rüschendorf will join TransPerfect‘s senior management team as Division President while remaining Managing Director of Scheune München.

Daniel Rüschendorf, Founder and continuing Managing Director of Scheune München and Division Head of TransPerfect: “As the leading media law firm, we deliberately selected SKW Schwarz for this transaction. Dr. Martin Böttger and his team advised us excellently and proactively on the transaction, on deal management, and on integration. In this way, the transaction opens up enormous opportunities for us in using cloud software and in sales.”
