PwC Legal secures Legal Transformation team led by Andreas Bong

Düsseldorf, 1th July 2025

PwC Legal is expanding its leadership in legal transformation: Andreas Bong, one of the most prominent experts in transforming legal departments, is joining PwC Legal along with his entire team from KPMG Law. Among the team members is Local Partner Simon Straßburger, a recognized expert in legal operations and strategic restructuring of legal functions.

As part of the changes to the nearly 10-person team, the Legal Transformation department at PwC Legal will be restructured: A new practice group will be created, combining the areas of Legal Operations, Legal Tech & AI, and Legal Managed Services. Andreas Bong will take over as head of this new area “Legal Transformation and Managed Services”.   

In addition to the team of Andreas Bong and Simon Straßburger, the units of Dr. Matthias Schwenke and Dr. Karl Küpper will also be integrated. While Matthias Schwenke is one of Germany’s leading consultants in the field of Contract Management, Legal Tech & AI, Karl Küpper is responsible for the global practice area of Entity Governance & Compliance with a global, platform-based Connected Legal Compliance offering. This consolidation now enables an integrated consulting approach, from strategy to implementation.  

By appointing Andreas Bong and Simon Straßburger, we are bringing on board two leading experts in holistic legal transformation. Through their work far beyond the German market, they’ve proven themselves as true leaders in the field. We’re thrilled to welcome them to the team.

Dr. Thorsten Zumwinkel

Head of Legal Co-Lead, Head of Tax Criminal and White Collar Criminal Law
