Handelsblatt/Legal Success - Best Lawyers: Top commercial lawyers in Germany 2021 (June 26, 2020)
The renowned American publisher Best Lawyers® annually announces a list of the top commercial lawyers all over the world in 40 commercial law and tax practice areas. The research team interviews distinguished experts and colleagues for their recommendations on which lawyers outside their own firms to whom they would refer work, if they could not take on the client themselves. These results form the basis for a publication in the German newspaper Handelsblatt.
P+P was named "Law Firm of the Year" for Private Equity Law and Trust and Succession Planning. The following attorneys were ranked as "Best Lawyer of the Year 2020" in their regions: Munich partners Otto Haberstock for Venture Capital Law and Benedikt Hohaus for Mergers and Acquisitions Law (both Bavaria) and Frankfurt partner Georg Greitemann for Venture Capital Law in Hesse.
In total, 41 P+P attorneys and tax advisors are listed in the current Germany edition for their expertise, many of them repeatedly and mostly in more than one practice area.
