The recommendations are distributed among these specialist areas: Labor law, banking and finance law, construction law, company law, intellectual property law, commercial and distribution law, real estate law, IT law, mergers & acquisitions, antitrust law, public law, planning law, product liability law, restructuring & insolvency, arbitration, insurance law, advertising law and competition law.
