Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer has seen another departure from its German practice, with IT and intellectual property specialist Gerwin Janke becoming the latest partner to exit the firm. Janke, who was based at the magic circle firm’s Frankfurt office, is leaving Freshfields to launch his own firm under the banner Kanzleu. Janke is the latest in a line of partners to quit Freshfields in recent weeks.
