Dechert LLP

Dechert LLP announced the opening of a Munich office, the firm's second office in Germany and its 17th worldwide. The office will be led by private equity lawyer Federico Pappalardo, banking lawyer Wolfgang Althaus and labour lawyer Olaf Fasshauer. Pappalardo becomes the managing partner of the Munich office and specialises in private equity, venture capital and corporate buyouts. Althaus represents French and Italian banks operating in Germany, and is an adviser to Banca d'Italia, the Italian central bank. Fasshauer specialises in labour and general corporate law. The new Munich office significantly enhances Dechert's private equity and finance capabilities in Europe, and continues the firm's German expansion following the opening of the Frankfurt office last year and the recruitment of Laurenti Kiszczuk as a Frankfurt-based private equity and M&A partner in September last year.
