“Focus-Spezial”: Friedrich Graf von Westphalen & Partner among Germany’s Top Lawyers / Law Firms

The German news magazine “Focus” regularly determines “Germany’s Top Lawyers”. We are among these top lawyers once again: FGvW is being recommended for its “professional competence and expertise” in the commercial law and insurance practice areas. The rating is based on 10,000 recommendations from lawyers for their colleagues in six different practice areas.

“Focus-Spezial” lists 800 leading lawyers and commercial law firms from all relevant practice areas and provides its readers with key information on how to obtain the required legal services. The edition “Germany’s Top Lawyers” provides an inside view into renown law firms specialising in 24 legal practice areas ranging from antitrust and trademarks to freight and maritime trade, explains the most important facts on rental, tax and family law, clarifies the new penalty-point rules for drivers, and assists in locating appropriate experts.

The list of top lawyers is based on approximately 10,000 recommendations provided by participating lawyers for their colleagues in six different practice areas. In order to determine Germany’s top law firms, Focus interviewed more than 2,600 lawyers at private law firms and in-house.  The selection was then made based on the frequency of recommendations made. In addition, the recommendations of the previous year’s enquiry were taken into account, in order to satisfy the requirements for a continuously high reputation. The lawyers and law firms that are amongst Germany’s leading lawyers and law firms according to Focus’ nationwide comparison receive the award “Top Lawyer 2014” or “Top Law Firm 2014” for the relevant practice area.

Focus’ deputy chief editor Markus Krischer stated: “When dealing with complex legal issues, companies and private individuals are reliant on the know-how of experts. Our list of lawyers assists our readers in finding the appropriate top lawyer for each important practice area, and thus to obtain the required legal services. In addition, Focus provides much useful advice on current issues”.

“Focus-Spezial” featuring Germany’s top lawyers has been available at newsagents since 16 September 2014.
