"We are very pleased that our excellent development is also registering at the international level," said Christof Kleinmann and Dr Robert Theissen, managing partners of the law firm. "The share of international mandates in our total practice is continuously increasing. Our Corporate and M&A practice groups, with five new partners, have made a major contribution here. We are also increasingly mandated in matters involving worldwide trade and international construction projects."
