Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer is closing its two-partner Leipzig office. The move comes hard on the heels of a similar move by Linklaters & Alliance firm Oppenhoff & Raedler, and underlines the lack of business activity in the eastern German city.
Freshfields’ two-partner Leipzig office was opened in 1994 by its merger partner Bruckhaus Westrick Heller Loeber. The closure will see one partner relocate to Berlin and the other to Frankfurt, where he will cease practising for six to 12 months to look after knowledge management.
