CMS Hasche Sigle to be joined by new public law partner

16/05/2008

At the end of May Dr Hermann Müller will be joining CMS Hasche Sigle's Hamburg office as an equity partner where he will reinforce the public commercial law team headed by Dr Fritz von Hammerstein.

"We are extremely pleased to be joined by Dr Müller, who is a real authority in administrative and procurement law and who will sharpen our profile and enhance our capability," said Cornelius Brandi, Managing Partner of CMS Hasche Sigle. This development further underlines CMS Hasche Sigle's fullservice approach. The growing juridification of many areas of economic and commercial activity goes hand in hand with a need for highly specialised legal guidance. Over the past few years there has been a steady rise in the number of public commercial law mandates handled by the 15-strong team, especially in environmental and planning law, but increasingly also in specialised fields such as foreign trade law.

Dr Hermann Müller will continue to concentrate on infrastructure and procurement law, focussing even further on public affairs: "I am greatly looking forward to the challenge of making an active contribution to extending the public law department as a member of a dynamic and expanding team."
