History
In 1988, the founders, specialized in advising and litigating on behalf of German companies investing in France, joined together in order to create their own firm.
In 2000, the firm, which is very attached to the training of its associates and internal promotion, co-opted a new generation of lawyers having attained professional maturity.
The firm took the name hw&h in 2004.
It now has 10 partners, including two founding members, assisted by a growing group of associates.
