Eversheds has finally secured a German alliance partner in the form of Heisse Kursawe, the Munich member of the defunct German national Arcon.

The alliance is the end of a six-year hunt by Eversheds for a German ally and comes after the UK firm held unsuccessful talks with a number of larger firms, most recently Beiten Burkhardt, which is currently working as a referral partner of Berwin Leighton Paisner.
