We are shortlisted by Juve, Germany’s leading legal publisher, in their annual awards for Law Firm of the Year in three categories: Dispute Resolution, Real Estate, and Private Equity and Venture Capital. We are also nominated in the 'junior staff development' category. The awards ceremony will be held in Frankfurt on 31 October. The firm is also shortlisted as Private Equity Law Firm of the Year by Deutsche Unquote, a key private equity magazine covering Germany, Switzerland and Austria, with the winners to be unveiled in Zurich on 11 October.
The Juve Awards are presented in 17 categories, 14 of which apply to law firms and three to in-house departments. We are the second most nominated law firm alongside Linklaters: Gleiss Lutz received six nominations, Hengeler Mueller, Nörr Stiefenhofer Lutz and SJ Berwin each received three, and Allen & Overy, Bird & Bird, CMS Hasche Sigle, Dewey Ballantine and Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer each received two.
Comment: The Juve Awards, now in their seventh year, recognise the leading law firms in each practice area over the course of a year. Our four nominations, along with the Deutsche Unquote nomination, reinforce our market-leading reputation within the German legal market.
