Mayer Brown, an international law firm with a robust global footprint, has bolstered its litigation capabilities in Germany with the addition of Jan Henning Buschfeld. Buschfeld has joined the firm’s Düsseldorf office as a partner in the litigation group, a strategic move the firm announced Thursday.
With a seasoned background, Buschfeld brings extensive expertise in handling complex litigation matters, particularly in the domains of arbitration mandates, antitrust damages litigation, and mass claims. Beyond these areas, he is also known for his work on climate change-related liability, as well as his advisory role vis-à-vis environmental, social, and governance (ESG) risks. His comprehensive skill set is anticipated to enrich Mayer Brown’s service offerings, particularly for clients encountering multifaceted legal challenges in these evolving fields.
Prior to this new role, Buschfeld was associated with Freshfields, a tenure that has undoubtedly honed his prowess in navigating both national and international litigation landscapes. His transition to Mayer Brown signifies a valuable addition to the firm’s ongoing efforts to expand its litigation and risk advisory services across Europe.
The strategic integration of a legal luminary like Buschfeld into Mayer Brown’s ranks underscores the firm’s commitment to addressing contemporary legal complexities, aligning with the increasing client demand for nuanced and expert legal advisory services. This development comes as part of a broader trend of international law firms strengthening their capabilities and adapting to the dynamic legal environment.
