Herbert Smith Freehills has doubled the size of its disputes practice in Germany with the addition of two partners specializing in corporate crime and investigation along with a team of seven other lawyers and forensic experts. This is the latest in a string of high-profile hires amid rapid growth in HSF’s German practice. Since opening in Frankfurt and Berlin in 2013, the firm has expanded to three offices – with the recent addition of Düsseldorf – and grown from one partner to 13, and a total of more than 70 people.
