White & Case is set to close its Munich office, becoming the latest firm to scale back its presence in Germany.

The firm, which also has offices in Berlin, Hamburg, Frankfurt and Duesseldorf, is offering its Munich lawyers and support staff the opportunity to relocate to Frankfurt.

The office has two partners – including one who spilts his time between Munich and Frankfurt – five local partners and four associates, making it the smallest of the firm's five German offices.
