With our offices in Cologne, Freiburg and Frankfurt am Main we are firmly anchored in regional Germany and are excellently networked. The offices enjoy a long tradition: Friedrich Graf von Westphalen established the Cologne office in 1973. The Freiburg office's roots go back to 1924 when the publishing lawyer, Walter Bappert, first opened his law firm in Staufen, which he then relocated to Freiburg in 1926. The youngest office to join is the Frankfurt am Main office, which we founded in 2014 with lateral entrants, who had been long-established in the Rhine-Main region for many years.
The Freiburg office was internationally oriented at an early stage and established an office in Brussels, where the EU Commission is based, in 1991. In addition, we maintain our own office for trademark law in Alicante, where the Office for Harmonization in the Internal Market (OHIM) is based.
Our clients travel all over the world, and we support them in this. This is why we maintain a close network of law firms in all the world's economic centers, with which we work closely together. These are law firms that we know personally through many years of cooperation and the exchange of young colleagues and with whom we meet regularly, on whose quality we can rely and who offer our clients the same service they have come to expect from Friedrich Graf von Westphalen & Partner.
