Greenberg Traurig is to launch in Germany later this year, picking up the Berlin office of U.K.-based Olswang, the U.S. firm announced Tuesday.

Olswang said in June that the firm planned to close its corporate and finance-focused Berlin office, and that its 13 partners and 37 additional lawyers would soon be working “under a different brand.” Press reports subsequently linked the team with possible moves to Morrison & Foerster and U.K. Magic Circle firm Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer. But the former Olswang lawyers and all of the office’s support staff will now join Greenberg to establish a Berlin outpost on Oct. 1. The office will be Greenberg’s fourth in Europe, after London, Amsterdam and Warsaw.
