Anne Wen­zelewski has been with Schirp & Part­ner since 2008 and has be­come a part­ner of the firm in 2015. As a spe­cial­ist at­tor­ney for tax law, she de­votes her­self mainly to fiscal is­sues re­lated to fund par­ti­cip­a­tion. In ad­di­tion to this, one of her fur­ther fo­cuses lies in cap­ital mar­ket and com­pany law. Here, at­tor­ney Wen­zelewski rep­res­ents harmed in­vestors in life in­sur­ance and cases of closed end funds, such as real es­tate and ship­ping funds. Anne Wen­zelewski can look back on both great ju­di­cial and ex­traju­di­cial successes:

As the com­pet­ent law­yer in the law suits of the KGAL/ALCAS me­dia funds vs those in charge of the pro­spectus, she was able to con­clude out-​of-​court set­tle­ments for all of the ap­prox­im­ately 500 in­vestors rep­res­en­ted by her, and could bring the ac­tions in the in­terest of her cli­ents to a very suc­cess­ful out­come. In the same year, a rul­ing of the Ger­man Fed­eral Court of Justice (Bundes­gericht­shof, file No. 2 ZR 136/11) was is­sued on the basis of an ac­tion which was im­ple­men­ted as a mile­stone for in­vestor pro­tec­tion. The BGH has stated that share­hold­ers of a fund are en­titled to the pub­lic­a­tion of the names and ad­dresses of their co-​owners. The an­onym­ity of the share­hold­ers among them­selves and their com­plete de­pend­ence on the man­age­ment of the fund man­age­ment could thus be broken.

Anne Wen­zelewski com­pleted her stud­ies of law with a fo­cus on com­pany law at Freie Uni­versität Ber­lin. She chose the sta­tions of the legal clerk­ship at the Kam­mer­gericht Ber­lin in the area of com­pany and cap­ital mar­ket law.
