It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Dr. Nadine Herrmann.  Nadine was the Hamburg Office Managing Partner and Chair of the firm's EU and German Competition Law Practice. She passed away after a serious illness at the age of only 45.

She held a PhD in law (“Dr. iur”) and a Masters Degree from The University of Sydney.

Dr. Herrmann had a broad litigation expertise, including securities/capital markets and other finance litigation, antitrust, intellectual property and other regulatory and commercial litigation at trial and appellate level. She had broad experience in litigation and investigations, representing her clients before courts and regulators (including the German Financial Supervisory Authority, the European Commission and the German Federal Cartel Office).
