Quinn Emanuel is opening its third base in Germany, spearheaded by intellectual property (IP) litigation partner Marcus Grosch.

The US disputes specialist's launch in Munich has been long-touted after the firms set out plans last year to open a string of offices across Europe and Asia.

Grosch, who also headed up the firm's launch in Mannheim in 2010, will lead the offering alongside counsel Jan Ebersohl. The base is set to open at the start of September this year.
