The most recent edition of the "Handbook of Commercial Law 2023/24" published by JUVE Verlag has recognized the positive development of the firm by raising its ranking in the category of "Corporate Employment Law."

Our firm's nomination as one of the 2023/24 Business Law Firms by JUVE Verlag was particularly exciting. Each nominated law firm was asked to create a winner's video that would be shown in case it was the winner of the award. Our "winner's video", which was never shown because we did not win, can now be viewed here for the first time. In any event, we had a lot of fun making the video.
