We are highly specialised.

We count ourselves among Germany’s leading law firms in the area of tax law.

We are highly specialised. The quality of our consulting is based on many years of experience coupled with our specialist focus. Our competence is assured through continuous knowledge exchange as well as lecturing and writing activities.

We are not a ‘lawyer factory’. Each mandate is led by one of our partners, who is able to draw on the know-how of the entire partnership. If your mandate requires it, we are large enough to set a team onto it.

We also act as consultants to advisers. In our view, tax advisers, auditors and lawyers are partners and not competitors.

Leading business journals rank us amongst Germany’s best-known law firms. We regularly achieve high placements in the law-firm rankings that are now published on an annual basis. In the surveys, carried out by Handelsblatt, Wirtschaftswoche, Focus, Juve, etc. with the top lawyers and leading commercial law practices, we regularly appear among the highest ranking practices and individual lawyers.

We regard these awards not only as recognition of our success, but also as an incentive that motivates us to sustain the highest possible standards in our work. This gives our clients the reassurance that they can depend on our excellent expertise in tax law and criminal tax law at all times.

Awards

For over 40 years, leading business publications have ranked us among Germany’s most prestigious law firms in tax and criminal tax law. In annual rankings—such as those published by Handelsblatt, Wirtschaftswoche, Focus, Juve, and Best Lawyers—we are regularly recognized as one of the leading firms and receive numerous individual awards.

We view these honors as recognition of our work—and at the same time as an incentive to continuously improve our high level of professional expertise. After all, those who retain our services can trust that they will be advised and represented at the highest legal level.

Below, we have limited ourselves to a selection of the most recent and relevant awards.
