Flick Gocke Schaumburg once again leads the field of German tax law firms in the “Europe Guide 2023” recently published by the UK law publishing house Chambers and Partners. The firm lands unchallenged in first place in the “Tax in Germany” category.

Chambers explains the leading position of Flick Gocke Schaumburg as follows:

“The team is highly sought after by domestic blue-chip corporates as well as international clients for advice on transactional matters and company reorganisations, with further tax capabilities in capital markets-related mandates. Alongside its leading corporate tax practice, the firm handles a broad range of contentious issues both at fiscal court and before the ECJ and also provides regulatory advice, including on transfer pricing and international tax law as well as tax audits. The team includes both tax consultants and attorneys at law.”

As in previous years, Chambers ranks Flick Gocke Schaumburg partners among the leading advisors in Germany:

  • Prof. Thomas Rödder (Band 1 in “Tax: Consultants in Germany”), Prof. Andreas Schumacher (Band 2 in “Tax: Consultants in Germany”), Prof. Xaver Ditz (Band 3 in “Tax: Consultants in Germany”, a new entry this year)
  • Prof. Jens Schönfeld (Band 4 in “Tax in Germany Legal Rankings”)
  • Christian Schatz (Band 5 in “Investment Funds”)
