Orrick Herrington & Sutcliffe has launched its fourth office in Germany, with the opening of a base in Munich.

The US firm has taken on an eight-lawyer team from Denver-based technology and media firm Holme Roberts & Owen to launch the office, including two partners. M&A partners Jens Roehrborn and Joerg Ritter lead the team, which also includes two of counsel, four associates and two paralegals.
