Trendence Graduate Barometer 2016 confirms the top placement of GvW Graf von Westphalen as the most popular law firm for mid-size companies
Commercial law firms are again looked upon favorably by young lawyers. This development was apparent in the Trendence Graduate Barometer 2016 which appeared today in the publication Juristische Schulung (JuS). GvW Graf von Westphalen has placed for the first time in the Top 15 most popular commercial law firms and has improved its position by a total of seven places to become one of the most important upcoming firms among employers for lawyers.
As has already been recently published the LTO Young Professionals Survey 2016, there is no other law firm for mid-size business which has a better position than GvW, also in the poll conducted by Trendence.
Trendence, an independent consulting and research company based in Berlin, asked 2000 students which employer in the field of legal services they consider to be particularly attractive as a potential employer and where they would most likely apply for a position.
