We mourn the loss of Peter Weyland

9 September 2022

Our partner Peter Weyland passed away on 31 August 2022 after a long illness. We have lost more than a partner and colleague; he was also a true friend and mentor to many of us.

Peter spent his entire professional career at Hengeler Mueller and became a partner in 1995. He was a great lawyer, who was instrumental in the development of our M&A and private equity practice. The mentoring and promotion of young lawyers was always of great importance to him.

Peter will be sadly missed by everyone at Hengeler Mueller. Our thoughts are with his family.
