Global law firm Dentons has announced plans to open a new office in D\u00fcsseldorf with the recruitment of two new partners who bring well-respected capabilities in public procurement, EU state aid, trade and trade compliance, as well as employment law.

\u201cGermany is the largest economy in continental Europe and remains a top global priority for Dentons,\u201d<\/em> said\u00a0Elliott Portnoy<\/strong>, Dentons\u2019 Global Chief Executive Officer. \u201cThis investment will build on the strong momentum of our German practice, which is one of Dentons\u2019 biggest success stories. From 2015 to 2017, our German partners grew revenue by more than 60%, and are on track to achieve double digit growth again this year.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cAs the capital of the largest and most densely populated region in Germany, and the country\u2019s number one city for FDI, D\u00fcsseldorf is a hot spot for investment and a priority market for our global clients. It is the natural choice as the next phase in our German market positioning strategy,\u201d<\/em> said\u00a0Joe Andrew<\/strong>, Global Chairman of Dentons.<\/p>\n Andreas Haak\u00a0will serve as D\u00fcsseldorf Managing Partner at Dentons. For many years, he was Head of Competition, EU and Trade at Taylor Wessing, and he also led the firm\u2019s industry group Life Sciences and Health Care. Together with\u00a0Dr. J\u00f6rg Karenfort, he will co-lead the Competition, Antitrust and Regulatory practice at Dentons in Germany. He will also strengthen and further develop Dentons\u2019 Public Procurement practice in collaboration with\u00a0Dr. Wolfram Krohn\u00a0and\u00a0Dr. Peter Braun. Haak joins along with partner\u00a0Sascha Grosjean, who will strengthen the Employment and Labor team.<\/p>\n \u201cWe look forward to welcoming such high-caliber partners to our team, who are well connected, both nationally and internationally. They will work closely with the partners in our other offices in Germany to provide high quality, full-scope legal advice to our clients,\u201d<\/em> said\u00a0Andreas Ziegenhagen<\/strong>, Dentons Germany Managing Partner.<\/p>\n \u201cOpening in Dusseldorf serves the implementation of our strategy to be a top five international firm on the continent and to have a much stronger presence in Germany. In addition to the initial team, over the next few years we will build up key capabilities in Corporate and M&A, Private Equity, Intellectual Property and Technology, Employment and Litigation,\u201d<\/em> said\u00a0Tomasz D\u0105browski<\/strong>, Dentons Europe Chief Executive Officer.\u201d<\/p>\n With the office opening in D\u00fcsseldorf, Dentons forecasts that it will have more than 200 lawyers in its offices in Berlin, Frankfurt, Munich and D\u00fcsseldorf.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n About Dentons<\/strong><\/p>\n Dentons is the world’s largest law firm, delivering quality and value to clients around the globe.
