Stuttgart, 13 October 2026 - Luther has provided legal advice to APCOA Deutschland GmbH on the acquisition of Parken & Management GmbH.

The acquisition adds the digital solutions and established customer relationships of Parken & Management to APCOA's existing service offering. APCOA is Europe's leading car park operator and manages more than 1.8 million parking spaces at around 13,000 locations in eleven European countries. The acquisition is part of the company's growth strategy and supports further expansion in Germany and Europe. Parken & Management will continue to operate as an independent company within APCOA Deutschland, preserving its corporate identity, team and continuity of customer relationships.

The Luther team was led by Dr. Cédric Müller and Dr. Denis Schütz. With an interdisciplinary team, Luther advised on all relevant legal areas of the transaction and thereby contributed to the technology-driven development of modern parking and mobility services.
