JUVE’s Handbook of Commercial Law Firms 2025/2026 and JUVE’s Tax Handbook have once again recognized Flick Gocke Schaumburg’s (FGS) position as a leader in Germany’s legal landscape.
As in previous years, Flick Gocke Schaumburg has been firmly established among the leading law firms with three stars in the national Top 50 overview. According to JUVE:
“[FGS is a] tax-focused law firm, and a leader in group tax advice, non-profit and criminal tax law, in addition to having an enormous legal breadth," it says. “FGS maintains good contacts with high-net-worth German entrepreneurial families, in the SME sector and on the DAX.”

Further, JUVE recommends the firm in the area of antitrust law.
For the second consecutive year, the Handbook has named FGS partner Dr. Bettina Wirth-Duncan as a “Rising Star of the Year” in the field of M&A. JUVE has also recently acknowledged partner Dr. Sandy Siegfanz-Strauß as one of the “Rising Stars in Labor and Employment Law.”
For the first time this year, the separately published Tax Law Handbook has been released at the same time. For many years, the firm has maintained its leading rankings in both publications, demonstrating the success of its tax-focused advisory approach, which combines tax law, business law as well as audit and valuation expertise in an interdisciplinary practice.
With JUVE now publishing certain rankings online on a monthly basis, some practice areas no longer appear in the current printed handbook. This includes the succession/private wealth/foundations category, in which JUVE has long regarded the firm as unrivalled at the top of the market. <<<
