Schoenherr opens London liaison office as gateway to Central Eastern Europe
CEE powerhouse Schoenherr expands its international presence with a new office in the City of London, reinforcing its role as the referral firm of choice for cross-border mandates in Central Eastern Europe.
London/Vienna, 1 October 2025 – Schoenherr is delighted to announce the opening of its new London liaison office, located in the heart of the City of London, opposite the Bank of England. With a local presence in 15 Central Eastern European (CEE) countries, Schoenherr has been the region's referral firm of choice for top-end legal work for over a decade. The launch marks a significant milestone in the firm's international growth trajectory and underscores Schoenherr's commitment to serving as the premier bridge for cross-border business with CEE. The new office will provide a more streamlined and personal communication channel with key referral partners, as well as with financial institutions and investors.
Managing Partner Alexander Popp: "Our core strength has always been combining an international mindset with a strong local footprint. Our lawyers operate to the highest international standards while remaining deeply embedded in their home jurisdictions. This has made us the referral firm of choice for high-end mandates. Being closer to some of our most important partners is the logical next step. Our presence sends a clear message: we are more connected than ever to our international business partners and clients, and we want to strengthen the ties between London-based firms and CEE."
Head of London Office Sebastian Lukic: "With over 100 million consumers and billions in investment, the CEE region offers tremendous business opportunities. Within Europe, this is where much of the growth will occur. Establishing a presence in London acknowledges the City's pivotal role as a hub for global commerce and finance, including for Schoenherr's home markets in CEE. Schoenherr is uniquely positioned to assist businesses and investors. By providing immediate, on-the-ground access to our local expertise, the London office will streamline cross-border mandates and enhance client service."
