Anglo-American firm Dechert has unveiled the launch of a local law practice in Germany.
The firm made the announcement on 2 August and plans to have 12 lawyers in Frankfurt by the end of the year, practising German, US and other European law.

Corporate lawyer Gerhard Kaiser has been hired to launch the practice and act as managing partner. Kaiser was the German practice managing partner of London’s Simmons & Simmons before standing down earlier this year.
