In a strategic move to bolster its European presence, Willkie Farr & Gallagher has announced the appointment of Georg Weidenbach as an antitrust partner in Germany. This development underscores the firm’s commitment to expanding its expertise in European and German antitrust law, a crucial area given the complex landscape of current regulatory frameworks and merger control cases.
Georg Weidenbach brings a wealth of experience to the firm, particularly in handling intricate merger control cases, cartel investigations, and related cartel damage claims. He also specializes in guiding clients through compliance programs, audits, and matters concerning antitrust-related distribution and abuse of dominance. His expertise will be invaluable to Willkie’s clients who need navigation through the challenging terrains of European competition law.
In tandem with Weidenbach’s appointment, Jan Vollkammer has joined Willkie Farr & Gallagher as counsel, both transitioning from their previous roles at Gibson Dunn. This dual appointment marks a significant enhancement of Willkie’s capabilities and resources within its antitrust practice group.
The addition of Weidenbach and Vollkammer not only strengthens Willkie’s position in the German and wider European legal market but also reflects a broader trend of law firms investing in top-tier talent to guide corporate clients through increasingly stringent regulatory environments.
