Flick Gocke Schaumburg has once again increased its numbers in the Best Lawyers ranking, which last year featured 56 of the firm’s lawyers in 11 practice areas. In tax law alone, 45 of the firm’s lawyers and tax advisors have won the Best Lawyers title this year, 17 more than in 2021.

The “Germany’s Best Lawyers” ranking is based on an online survey by the US industry publisher Best Lawyers, in which business lawyers and other practitioners are asked which lawyers they particularly recommend for certain areas of law. The “Lawyer of the Year” award goes to a lawyer with a particularly large number of recommendations. <<<
