Been looking for a while
Nicholas Coddington
Coddington’s arrival comes a few months after Dr. Marcell Németh, salary partner in financing law, moved to DLA Piper in Vienna. However, its focus in advising on English law is different and includes banking and portfolio transactions in Central and Eastern Europe.

Wolf Theiss now has ten partners in banking and finance law, making him one of the most staffed and experienced teams on the Vienna market. The firm had been looking for a career changer in English law for some time to strengthen its Central and Eastern European financing practice.
Off to the European Union
Coddington’s time at White & Case also included advising a consortium of eleven Polish and international banks on a $1 billion loan to the chemical company Grupa Azoty. At Deloitte Legal in spring 2021, Coddington advised, among others, the Polish bank Gospodarstwa Krajowego (BGK) on a $700 million loan for the Chilean mining company Sierra Gorda.
