Competition attorney Christopher Rother has been appointed Managing Partner of Hausfeld’s Berlin office—Hausfeld Rechtsanwält LLP, a move that bolsters the firm’s competition litigation practice in Europe. Rother previously served nearly 20 years as a member of Deutsche Bahn AG’s legal team.
With more than 25 years of experience, Rother is one of the most renowned competition attorneys in Germany, according to Hausfeld. While serving with Deutsche Bahn, Rother spent ten years as head of the Regulatory, Competition & Antitrust Department, leading highly complex regulatory, merger, and competition proceedings in Germany and across the globe.
“Hausfeld’s global competition litigation team is unparalleled in Europe, and Christopher, who we have known and worked with for many years, has been the unrivalled private enforcement leader in Germany during his long and successful in-house tenure at Deutsche Bahn,” stated firm Chairman Michael D. Hausfeld. “He was thus the natural and only choice to lead our new German firm.”
“Hausfeld is the leading law firm for private enforcement in Europe,” Rother said. “Hausfeld’s highly professional London and Brussels litigation teams have been involved in more private enforcement proceedings than any other law firm. I am looking forward to being able to contribute my extensive experience of the German market as managing partner of Hausfeld’s new Berlin office and to establish a German competition law team that will develop and realise innovative strategies in complex competition and cartel damages actions tailored to German clients.”
