Commenting on the expansion, Schenck noted: “Munich is home to many German companies, from venerable blue chips to vibrant start-ups.
“As a magnet for talent and a central location for easily reaching clients throughout the German-speaking region and beyond, it’s our natural first choice in establishing a local presence in Europe’s largest economy.”
The new office is the firm’s third outpost in Europe.
