Baker Tilly advises Rohde & Schwarz on the acquisition of Munich Innovation Labs

The international consulting and auditing firm Baker Tilly provided comprehensive support to the technology group Rohde & Schwarz in its acquisition of the software specialist Munich Innovation Labs. With this acquisition, Rohde & Schwarz is specifically strengthening its range of services in the areas of data analytics and open source intelligence (OSINT).

An interdisciplinary Baker Tilly team led by Frank Stahl supported Rohde & Schwarz in the areas of financial due diligence and tax due diligence, as well as providing tax and financial advice on the drafting of contracts.

These Baker Tilly advisors advised Rohde & Schwarz: 

• Financial: Frank Stahl (WP, StB), Felix Burghart, Julian Mair
• Tax: Uwe Roth (tax advisor), Stefan Lehner (tax advisor), Melina Heindl (tax advisor)

‘With the acquisition of Munich Innovation Labs, Rohde & Schwarz is taking a clear strategic step towards data-based security solutions,’ says Frank Stahl of Baker Tilly. 

The merger with the Munich-based software specialist allows Rohde & Schwarz to expand its portfolio in the direction of OSINT technology, serve existing market segments in an even more targeted manner and open up new business opportunities. The two founders of Munich Innovation Labs, Stefan Taing and Jens Elsner, will remain with the software specialist in management positions for the long term.
