JUVE nominates GvW as “Law Firm of the Year”
GvW Graf von Westphalen has been nominated by Germany’s leading law firm guide JUVE as “Law Firm of the Year”. The title “Law Firm of the Year” is the most coveted honour in the JUVE Awards, which are held annually to celebrate the achievements of law firms in 15 categories. This award recognises not only a firm’s dynamic capabilities in a specific practice area but its development as a whole.
Christof Kleinmann and Dr Robert Theissen, the firm’s Managing Partners, commented: “We are very proud of this nomination and take it as a confirmation and encouragement to what we are doing. It is a great credit to our entire team for its continued commitment and motivation to support and expand our firm’s dynamic development both internally and externally.”
The annual JUVE Awards highlight both new and long-established players in the legal services market that have done particularly well in the past twelve months.
The winners will be announced at a prestigious gala dinner and award ceremony on 27 October 2022 at Frankfurt’s Old Opera House. For more information about the JUVE Awards, please visit https://juveawards.juve-veranstaltungen.de/.
