Latham & Watkins is to further expand its German corporate capability with the launch of a Düsseldorf office after hiring a three-partner team from US rival Shearman & Sterling.
Corporate and M&A partners Harald Selzner, Rainer Wilke and Martin Neuhaus will spearhead the new office, while Latham has also hired Shearman corporate litigator Markus Rieder to join its Munich office.
