Jones Day opened the Frankfurt Office in 1991, expanded to Munich in 2003, and opened in Düsseldorf in 2012. The Firm's commitment to its German practice reflects the critical role Germany plays in the global economy and its status as one of the most important legal markets in the world. As German investment expands internationally, Jones Day provides clients with sophisticated analysis and risk assessment of new markets, and zealously defends its clients' interests.
Bijan Tavakoli, European Counsel at Jones Day in Frankfurt, answers the question, "Why Jones
Day?"
Düsseldorf has maintained the charm of a start-up office. As with the rest of the Firm, the hierarchy is flat, allowing even our newest attorneys to assume leadership roles. Young lawyers regard their peers as friends and work colleagues. We are dedicated to promoting this collegial, collaborative work atmosphere. New lawyers are drawn to Düsseldorf's cosmopolitan atmosphere, upscale shopping, and Rhein waterfront views, but especially to the opportunity to become a part of a truly global firm while working closely with colleagues in a dynamic location.

When Jones Day Frankfurt opened in 1991, it was one of the first U.S. law firm offices in Germany.
Like every Jones Day office, Frankfurt is fully integrated across the Firm. Our lawyers regularly work on matters with colleagues from the Firm's offices in the United States, United Kingdom, France, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Belgium, Asia, and Australia.
The Frankfurt Office is conveniently located in the center of the city, adjacent to the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. In many respects the office mirrors the city. Frankfurt is a dynamic modern town that attracts people and businesses from all over the world, yet is small enough to not feel impersonal. The countryside beyond the city offers many recreational options, including challenging mountain bike tours at the Feldberg and tours of the nearby vineyards of the Rheingau.
