The German law firm member of Interlaw, Arnecke Sibeth Dabelstein (ASD), has added its newly acquired offices in Hamburg and Leer to the elite global legal network, extending its reach across the country.

ASD was formed in 2018, when Arnecke Sibeth merged with Dabelstein & Passehl, creating one of the largest mid-market players in the German legal sector. The law firm’s offices in Berlin, Dresden, Frankfurt and Munich were already part of Interlaw, and the new offices in Hamburg and Leer have now been added to the growing network.

The latest addition to the Interlaw global legal network adds 30 lawyers with expertise in a range of practice areas, with a particular expertise in maritime law, transport & logistics, ship finance and restructuring, shipbuilding and suppliers, yachts, renewables, insurance, real estate, aviation, commercial & company, arrest and cruise industry law.

Michael Siebold, chair at Interlaw and part of the merger team at ASD, said: “This is a great step for both Interlaw and ASD. More than half of the work we do is international, and being part of the Interlaw network helps us to be first port of call for international businesses looking to branch out into Germany, and beyond The impressive local expertise we have at our Hamburg and Leer offices are a fantastic addition to Interlaw and provide even more choice for businesses using the network.”
