Squire Sanders & Dempsey has bolstered its German practice with a three-lawyer team from Faegre & Benson in Frankfurt.

The firm has hired Faegre corporate partner Karl Walter and banking partner Manfred Baumbach as a partner and of counsel respectively. Meanwhile special counsel Louis Wakatsuki, a corporate lawyer, is also joining as of counsel.

The trio joined last week (16 July), three months after Faegre announced that it was in the process of pulling out of Germany.
