Austrian firm Wolff Theiss & Partners has made an Anglo-Saxon merger a priority, after being
cut out of the Freshfields and Bruckhaus Westrick Heller Loeber merger.
Wolff Theiss, which specialises in banking and is still finishing off some Freshfields work, has been forced to break its formal association with the UK firm following the Bruckhaus merger vote in June.
Bruckhaus, which will official-ly merge with Freshfields on 1 August, decided that Wolff Theiss’ services were not needed as it already had a sizeable Austrian practice of its own.
