The news comes one year after the Hausfeld opened an office in Brussels to focus on antitrust disputes and amid a rising number of competition cases in Europe in the wake of an announcement by the European Commission that it will adopt the EU Damages Directive for competition law claims. The Berlin office will be Hausfeld’s seventh and will launch on 1 January under the name Hausfeld Rechtsanwälte LLP. Sources: The Lawyer; Hausfeld
