Flick Gocke Schaumburg named Law Firm of the Year for corporate tax

Legal publisher JUVE has named Flick Gocke Schaumburg its Law Firm of the Year in the area of corporate tax. For the first time, JUVE has awarded what it considers to be outstanding tax advisory units.
JUVE comments the decision as follows:

“‘I don't measure success by my victories, but by whether I get better every year.’ While this quote might come from Tiger Woods, it also fits perfectly to Flick Gocke Schaumburg (FGS) because similar to the golf legend, this large tax-focussed law firm has been an established fixture at the top of the market in corporate tax law for a very long time. For many, it is even considered ‘the measure of all things’ in this respect. Nevertheless, FGS does not get complacent or put its feet up – on the contrary: It constantly develops its business, putting it on a broader footing, sharpening its corporate tax law profile and - despite its high reputation in the market - displays a dynamism like few of its competitors.”
