Covington wades into Germany with Frankfurt launch

Thomas Heymann and Louise Nash are quoted by The Lawyer in an article highlighting the opening of Covington's Frankfurt office. According to Heymann, “We proudly look back on 12 years as an independent German law firm and we thank our clients for the trust they have placed in us and for the many years of great cooperation. We are convinced that adding Covington’s strengths and global reach will benefit our clients in an increasingly global market, especially with matters in the US, Asia and the UK. Covington will be a fantastic platform to further develop our technology and transaction practices.”

Nash comments, “As the fourth largest economy in the world, Germany is home to many ambitious and innovative businesses that drive growth around the world. There is a strong, untapped opportunity for Covington with German clients because of our firm’s exceptional strengths in high-risk US, EU, and Chinese regulation and enforcement issues.”
