Historic attitudes favouring globalisation are fundamentally changing....
The merger with Munich and Cologne-based BridgehouseLaw is driven by client demand, according to DWF. Bridgehouse, says DWF, is 'supported by a strong international network focused on the Middle East, particularly Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Israel, and the US.'
German clients
DWF's managing partner Andrew Leaitherland said: 'DWF has a large number of German clients, as well as clients who do business in Germany, the EU and the US, and this strategic acquisition provides a platform to access many of the sectors and markets which are important to our clients’ business objectives and which support DWF’s own strategic plans.'

Meanwhile, Pinsent Masons is taking on a four-lawyer team from boutique firm Mayrhofer & Partner on 1 January. The Munich-based team specialises in capital markets. Sources: DWF and Pinsents
