History

Rödl & Partner was founded in 1977 in Nuremberg by Dr. Bernd Rödl, a German attorney who in pursuit of meeting the clients' needs  also earned the title of a certified public auditor and a certified tax adviser. After the Berlin Wall came down in 1989, the firm expanded its operations into East Germany. We were one of the first West German consulting firms to take this step. Soon thereafter, we opened our first office outside of Germany – namely in Prague, and later in Budapest and Warsaw. Offices in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Tallinn, Riga, Vilnius, Bratislava, Bucharest, Ljubljana, Zagreb, Chisinau, Minsk and other Central and Eastern European locations followed. In a number of post-communist states we were the first German professional services firm.

In 1994 Rödl & Partner was first again – this time to obtain a licence for providing services in the People's Republic of China. Soon we opened offices in Shanghai, Hong Kong, Beijing and Guangzhou, followed by Singapore and Jakarta. After this success series it became obvious to us that we need to be always where our clients are. That is why, with the opening of our first office in Italy in 1998 we started to strengthen our position in Western Europe. Soon followed the offices in Spain, France, Switzerland, and in 2008 an office in the UK was opened. At the same time we started our worldwide expansion with offices opening, among others, in the USA, Brazil, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, India, Thailand, Vietnam, South Africa, Mexico and in 2013 in Malaysia. From a local law firm we grew into a global consulting group.

We now have six offices in Poland. Our business in Poland focuses on comprehensive advisory services for foreign investors and domestic enterprises. The services include audit of financial statements, financial and payroll accounting as well as tax, legal, and personnel-related consultancy Rödl & Partner stands out with its highly-qualified team of professionals fluent in German and English.
