Working in Germany
Our German offices employ around 1,400 people, including approximately 500 lawyers at five locations — Berlin, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Hamburg and Munich — that are as diverse as the teams that work there.

Our people are our greatest asset, and we are proud of our ambitious and supportive teams. We cultivate an inclusive culture and workplace, contribute to society, and help our people achieve their aspirations.
We are established, but never static. Elite, but never elitist. Global yet personal. And always moving ahead.
