Mayer Brown announced today that it is expanding its German litigation capabilities with the arrival of partner Jan Henning Buschfeld as of November 1st in its Düsseldorf office. He joins from Freshfields.
Jan has extensive experience advising national and international clients on litigation and arbitration mandates as well as antitrust damages litigation and mass claims. He is also an expert in climate change-related liability and ESG risks.
“Jan is a great addition to our global litigation group,” said Christian Horstkotte, head of Mayer Brown’s German litigation and antitrust practices. “With Jan’s long-standing experience in litigation and in particular antitrust damages claims, he will strengthen our capabilities in a much sought-after field of legal advice.”
“I am excited to join Mayer Brown’s renowned litigation practice and look forward to working closely with such a highly regarded team. Mayer Brown’s global network offers the perfect environment to further build my practice, especially with its strength in multi-jurisdictional disputes and its deep commitment to antitrust and ESG matters. Both areas continue to grow in importance for businesses navigating legal challenges,” said Jan.
Dr. Guido Zeppenfeld, Office Managing Partner Germany: “Jan’s arrival will strengthen our litigation, antitrust, and ESG capabilities. This strongly aligns with our strategy in Germany to add depth to a number of growth areas where we see increasing client demand and Jan will help us cater to complex client needs.”
The addition of Jan Henning Buschfeld to Mayer Brown’s Düsseldorf office follows the hires of partners Christian Horstkotte and Johannes Weichbrodt in January 2021 to build Mayer Brown’s antitrust practice in Germany. Jan’s expertise will now expand Mayer Brown’s offering in litigation, focusing on commercial disputes, arbitration, and antitrust damages litigation.
