International legal practice Osborne Clarke has advised the shareholders of Munich-based TomTec Imaging Systems GmbH on its takeover by Dutch-based medical technology manufacturer Philips N.V.

A leading provider of intelligent image analysis software, especially for diagnostic ultrasound, TomTec’s software is used by more than 20,000 physicians and 600 health facilities worldwide to treat their patients daily.

A team lead by Partner Dr Martin Sundermann advised Tomtec on the transaction. The team included Mark Friedrich, Stephanie Zajicek, Natalie Merkle, Annalisa Greger (all Corporate law), Dr Tim Reinhard, Piet Weinreich, (Supervisory / IP law), Dr Thomas Leister (Employment law), Dr Christoph Torwegge, Marlen Mach (Commercial / Foreign trade law), Joachim Breithaupt, Dr Ulrike Bär, Florian Merkle (Tax law) und Dr Sebastian Hack (Competition law).
