‘Handelsblatt’, the leading German business newspaper, has again released a list of German lawyers in a wide range of fields, compiled by the Best Lawyers publishing house in the U.S.A. These ranking lists are obtained by asking peers in other firms to vote for those lawyers they would recommend if they were unable to accept a brief due to shortage of time or conflicts of interest.

Seven lawyers from our firm, both attorneys and patent attorneys among them, have been voted onto the list in the ‘Intellectual Property’ area of practice (Jochen Ehlers, Rainer Böhm, Uwe Stilkenböhmer, Ulrich Sander, Klaus Göken, Günther Eisenführ and Joachim von Oppen).
