The CMS CEE German Desk gives you access to German speaking lawyers who approach issues in a manner you are familiar with. Led by German qualified lawyer and partner Martin Wodraschke, the team across the region comprises 30 partners and 50 associates who are German speaking and/or German qualified lawyers. We communicate with and often provide legal advice to our clients in German.
