Germany-based private equity partner Nils Röver is leaving Latham & Watkins’s Frankfurt office to join Willkie Farr & Gallagher’s new Munich branch.
New York-headquartered Willkie said Röver’s addition continues its four-year-old expansion strategy in Germany, where it has tripled in size to about 85 attorneys today. Willkie announced in February that it’s opening an office in Munich, for which it is transferring about 20 lawyers from its Frankfurt location. The firm said it plans to make several hires for the new office.
