Chicago-headquartered McDermott Will & Emery has been expending its German offering. As of 2024, the firm had offices in Düsseldorf, Frankfurt and Munich and boasted over 70 corporate lawyers alone. In 2023, it deepened its bench with the addition of experienced partners including Matthias Weissinger, Ludwig Zesch and Felix Ganzer. The investment has paid dividends, with the firm's profile in Germany steadily rising, and in 2024 McDermott climbed the rankings in three tables: M&A, private equity and banking. The firm has been engaged on significant projects by clients such as Vuelta Group, Deutsche Beteiligungs, Hyundai Corporation and Investcorp Technology. Key partners include Michael Cziesla and Christoph Coene.
