In February, Nadine Bourgeois (40) moved to the English law firm Addleshaw Goddard, which has a Hamburg office in Germany. The banking and finance lawyer Bourgeois only joined Luther in Frankfurt as a partner in the summer of 2019. She is to set up a corresponding German practice group for her new law firm.

Bourgeois advises on corporate, acquisition and real estate financing as well as financial restructuring. Her clients include banks and alternative lenders as well as borrowers such as corporations and private equity funds. In 2019, she brought a number of Norton Rose Fulbright clients with her to Luther, such as Veritas, whom she also advised on financial restructuring issues last year. At Addleshaw she wants to be more internationally active again.
The law firm opened in Hamburg in 2019 with five partners from Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner. It was the firm’s first European office outside of the UK. Now she would like to set up a banking and finance law practice in Germany that is part of the Finance & Projects team globally. Hamburg currently remains the only official location, although Bourgeois will also use office space in Frankfurt. The number of partners in the German office increases to nine with the access.
Addleshaw expanded its presence in continental Europe with the opening of a Paris office in January that includes more than 20 lawyers specializing in cross-border transactions, dispute resolution, real estate and commercial law. Last year the law firm also grew in Germany, for example with the antitrust and state aid lawyer Helge Heinrich, the public procurement and state aid lawyer Jan-Oliver Schrotz and the arbitration lawyer Felix Dörfelt.
Luther has a good 20 partners in banking and finance law, including around five under the direction of Frankfurt partner Christoph Schauenburg for loans and acquisition finance. (Ludger Steckelbach)
