Triple Nomination for GvW Graf von Westphalen at 2023 JUVE Awards
GvW Graf von Westphalen is pleased to announce its nominations in no less than three categories of the forthcoming JUVE Awards. The nominations recognise the firm’s outstanding work in the fields of Real Estate and Construction Law, M&A and Technology and Media.
The firm’s nomination in the Real Estate and Construction Law category is testament to its extensive expertise in this field, ranging from complex legal issues relating to private building law matters (including dispute resolution), real estate project development, real estate transactions and commercial landlord and tenant law. In the M&A category, GvW is nominated in recognition of the firm’s outstanding service to national and international clients on mergers, acquisitions and company sales. Their nomination in the Technology and Media category underscores in particular the excellence of the team in assisting clients with tailored advice in implementing digitalisation.
“We are particularly proud to have been nominated for three categories of the JUVE Awards this year, which marks the 75th anniversary of our firm”, say Christof Kleinmann and Dr Robert Theissen, the two Managing Partners of GvW. “These prestigious awards are a recognition of the dedication and commitment of everybody at GvW.”
The JUVE Awards will be presented at a festive ceremony at Frankfurt’s Old Opera House on 26 October 2023. Earlier this year, GvW’s Tax Law practice group won also the JUVE Law Firm of the Year Award for Customs and Excise Tax (click). Last year, GvW was nominated as “Law Firm of the Year” for its development as a whole (click).
