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. The Best Lawyers list for Germany is published every year exclusively in Handelsblatt, a leading German-language business and financial newspaper. <<<
