JUVE nominates GvW as „Law Firm of the Year"
Graf von Westphalen has been nominated as “Law Firm of the Year” by JUVE, an information service provider for the German legal community. “Law Firm of the Year” is the top award among the 14 categories of the annual JUVE Awards. This award is presented not only in recognition of a law firm’s strength in a particular area of law, but also of its overall performance.
“We are really excited about being nominated,” said Dr. Robert Theissen and Christof Kleinmann, the law firm’s Managing Partners. “It represents an endorsement of the strategy we have been pursuing in recent years. When market players recommend our expertise and service focus to JUVE – as the nomination demonstrates – this is truly a major honor for us.”
The winners will be announced on October 25, 2012, during the JUVE Awards Ceremony 2012 in the Alte Oper in Frankfurt. More information about the JUVE Awards is available at www.juve.de/awards.
