Sometimes it’s worth taking a look in the rearview mirror. A few months ago, in April, we took the plunge withORTHPARTNERS and entered the arena of German corporate law firms—driven by a spirit of optimism, courage, and the conviction that we could set new standards with fresh ideas and genuine partnership. Since then, many positive things have happened: We have developed new and successful solutions for our clients, supported them, mastered challenges, and the team has grown significantly and—above all—grown closer together.

Today, we pause for a moment and look back. Because a month ago, we reached a small milestone of which we are still proud: our inclusion inthe Handelsblatt/Best Lawyers ranking as one of Germany’s top law firms for 2025 (Labor Law, Corporate Pension Plans, Mergers and Acquisitions, Corporate Law, Public Commercial Law). This achievement is more than just an award. It is recognition of the passion, expertise, and trust that clients and colleagues have placed in us throughout our short history.

A heartfelt thank you to our amazing team and all the clients who are part of this journey. Together, we remain curious, committed, and ready to shape the next chapter.
