bigger ticket, more interesting work. At the same time,
we are trying to improve our German footprint. We
opened offices in Düsseldorf and Hamburg in the last
two years primarily directed at large German corporates’.
Rainer Krause, partner at German heavyweight
Hengeler Mueller, argues that Germany does not operate a two-tier legal market, explaining that when it
comes to attracting the biggest international clients, it
is not necessarily a case of domestic versus global firms.
‘To be successful in the market, it is not about international or independent’ he argues. ‘It’s all about service
and professionalism; in this environment we compete
with firms irrespective model’. Currently the firm’s client
base is split evenly between international and German
clients.
‘It is interesting how clients from abroad see the
European market and which European law firms they
short-list. Hengeler Mueller is international in its own
right. Our reach is global because we have substantial
track records with firms all over the world. Name a juris-
diction and we immediately know the best lawyers
there and can immediately build on established working
relations’.
