SKW Schwarz Recognized in Handelsblatt Ranking "Germany's Best Law Firms 2024"

We are thrilled to announce that SKW Schwarz has been recognized in the latest Handelsblatt ranking in cooperation with the US publisher Best Lawyers as one of "Germany's Best Law Firms 2024." This recognition is a remarkable testament to our continuous commitment and the excellent work of our entire firm.

The US publisher Best Lawyers has exclusively identified Germany's top business law firms for Handelsblatt for the year 2024. Best Lawyers evaluates firms based on the frequency of recommendations from jurists, utilizing a peer-to-peer principle where lawyers vote for colleagues they deem recommendable.

The ranking showcases the recommended firms across 60 legal fields and is divided into three categories, weighted by the frequency of recommendations. There is both a national and a regional ranking. Additionally, in 23 particularly important legal fields, there are awards for the "Law Firm of the Year." This year, five firms managed to be recognized in two categories each.

We are particularly proud of our national Tier 1 placements in the areas of Data Security and Privacy Law, Information Technology Law, and Media Law. We also achieved strong placements in the categories of Corporate Law, Intellectual Property Law, Labor and Employment Law, Mergers and Acquisitions Law, and Tax Law.

Regionally, we performed exceptionally well in Bavaria, Berlin, Hamburg, and Hesse across numerous categories.

These recognitions reflect the breadth and depth of our expertise and are a testament to the quality of our work.
