International firm Howrey is set to open a new office in Duesseldorf, Germany that will specialize in patent litigation, LegalWeek reports. The firm’s 18th office is slated to open in September and will be led by Christoph Lenz, an IP attorney for Bardehle Pagenberg.
According to the report, Howrey will add an antitrust team to the office soon after its launch. The practice is currently conducted in Brussels, Paris, Madrid and London.
“Since we started our operations in Germany we have always kept in mind that Duesseldorf is a very important place and the number one place for patent litigation in the region,” Joachim Feldges, the managing partner of Howrey’s Munich office, told LegalWeek. “We have handled many cases there from our Munich office, so it made sense to now establish a proper presence there. Howrey will continue to expand its base in Europe in line with the firm’s focus and clients.”
The Deusseldorf office will be Howrey’s seventh in Europe, joining bases Amsterdam, Brussels, London, Madrid, Munich and Paris.
