So, get this, Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton, you know, the big law firm? Yeah, they’re closing down their Frankfurt office after being there for, like, 34 years. Crazy, right? They’re moving all their operations to Cologne instead. Word on the street is that they’re doing it to boost collaboration, efficiency, and overall client service. Germany is still a big deal for them, despite shutting down their office in Frankfurt.
The German legal publisher Juve mentioned that Cleary’s Frankfurt team has been getting smaller and smaller. Not really sure why this matters, but hey, it’s news, right? In other legal news, there’s a WWE employment suit that’s all about the Bill of Discovery. Sounds intense. And then there’s this antitrust class action claiming that AAA has taken over the US consumer arbitration market. Wild stuff.
But back to Cleary Gottlieb, shutting down their Frankfurt office after over 30 years in Germany’s financial hub. It’s a big move for them, consolidating everything in Cologne. Who knows what the future holds for them? Only time will tell.
