Freshfields real estate team strikes out on its own

A team of lawyers from Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer is set to leave the firm’s Hamburg office to launch an independent firm. The departing team is led by partner Erwin von Bressensdorf, who has been a partner at the firm since 1989. Bressendorf specialises in advising domestic and foreign developers, investors and financial institutions on commercial property law. The news follows the defection of a team of 11 real-estate lawyers from the firm’ Berlin office to UK firm Olswang in March.
