Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer is building presences in the German cities of Nuremberg, Mannheim and Hanover as part of its expansion of its Dieselgate-style mass litigation unit.
The bases add to the firm’s debut in Münster last year, and aim to realize efficiencies in Germany’s growing mass litigations market by locating nearer to regional courts, according to people at the firm. Though the firm has yet to put a figure on new hires, it expects additional headcount to number in ”the three digits”.
