ARQIS advises Greenovis on merger with grün ER leben GmbH

06. March 2026

ARQIS advised Greenovis Group on all legal aspects of its further expansion and merger with grün ER leben GmbH. Greenovis is thus consistently pursuing its growth strategy through the acquisition of the company, which is based in Werne near Dortmund, and thereby expanding its service portfolio in the garden and landscaping maintenance segment. The founder and managing director of grün ER leben, Reinhard Schocke, will continue to contribute his experience to the further development of the company after the merger.

Greenovis Group, based in Langenfeld, brings together companies from the landscaping sector throughout Germany under one roof. Its range of services includes gardening and landscaping, sports field construction, playground construction, green roofs, green facades, and the care and maintenance of green spaces. It is the leading group of companies in this sector in Germany.

With around 30 employees, grün ER leben GmbH has been serving mainly commercial and public clients since 1998. The gardening and landscaping company, which spends around 75 percent of its time on maintenance, ideally complements Greenovis' service portfolio.

ARQIS, headed by partner Thomas Chwalek, provided comprehensive legal advice to Greenovis on this transaction. The ARQIS team has already advised Greenovis on various transactions in the past, most recently with its merger with Frissen & Zohren GmbH.
