Dr. Markus Dreißigacker ist Of Counsel bei Compound Law mit zwei Jahrzehnten Inhouse-Führungserfahrung in globalen Unternehmen. Bei den Lexology European Awards 2025 wurde er als Winner in der Kategorie M\&A In-House ausgezeichnet; sein Legal-Team bei Bruker stand zudem auf der Shortlist der Global Counsel Awards von ACC und Lexology.

Er ist Group General Counsel und Compliance Officer der Bruker Corporation, wo er als Mitglied des Group Management Board die Bereiche Legal, Compliance, IP und ESG verantwortet. Zuvor war er mehr als sechs Jahre bei JDE Peet’s als Global Chief Compliance Officer, Datenschutzbeauftragter und Director Legal Europe tätig und leitete den Compliance-Workstream für den Börsengang des Unternehmens im Jahr 2020 mit einer Bewertung von 15,6 Milliarden Euro. Davor war er General Counsel Northern Europe bei Kellogg’s und General Counsel DACH für Pringles.

Sein Schwerpunkt liegt auf M\&A und Gesellschaftsrecht: Er hat mehr als 30 Post-Merger-Integrationsprojekte verantwortet und über 50 Startup-, Seed- und VC-Projekte begleitet, von der Gründungsphase bis zu Familienunternehmen und börsennotierten Gesellschaften. Hinzu kommt tiefe Expertise in IP, Handelsverträgen und komplexen Verhandlungen über mehrere Jurisdiktionen hinweg.

Über das Transaktionsgeschäft hinaus hat er als Chief Compliance Officer globale Compliance-Programme konzipiert und ausgerollt, als globaler Datenschutzbeauftragter die DSGVO-Strategie umgesetzt und ESG-Strategien mit Verantwortung für Unternehmenskommunikation, Regulatorik und Nachhaltigkeit aufgebaut. Er ist in vergleichendem Verbraucherrecht an der Universität Heidelberg promoviert und begeistert sich für KI und Legal Tech.
