Our Frankfurt office was established in December 2008 to strengthen our broad corporate practice, which spans the east and west coasts of the US and beyond to London and Beijing. The office serves clients in all of our areas of expertise, particularly corporate, IP, litigation, and antitrust, with an emphasis on clients in the life sciences, pharmaceutical, energy and cleantech sectors. While the firm is already a recognized leader in these practice areas, the Frankfurt office deepens our capabilities in Germany and enables us to better serve the firm’s clients with legal needs in or around Germany’s financial and industrial center.

The Frankfurt office includes four new lateral partners who brought with them a combined six decades of experience: Dr. Rüdiger Herrmann, Reinhart Lange, Dr. Christofer Eggers and Dr. Hans-Georg Kamann. They were joined by Dr. Christian Crones, a corporate partner from WilmerHale’s Berlin office.


The Frankfurt Office is easily accessible from the Frankfurt International Airport.

If using public transportation [provided by Rhein-Main-Verkehrsverbund (RMV)], the closest station to the office is “Alte Oper."
