Bird & Bird CEO David Kerr said: "Our new office in Hamburg strengthens our coverage in the northern European region, establishing a strong link between our offices in the rest of Germany and Stockholm and Helsinki. Hamburg is a key commercial centre and jurisdictional location for several of our key sectors."
