News

Handelsblatt selects “Germany’s Best Law Firms” for the year 2024

Great news!
The US publisher Best Lawyers, in cooperation with Handelsblatt, has selected the best commercial law firms in Germany in 2024.
Our law firm Ettrich was honored in four categories: Arbitration/Dispute Resolution/Mediation, Employment Law, Dispute Resolution and Real Estate Business Law in Hesse.
A big thank you to everyone who recommended us!

JUVE judges: Our strength is mass litigation. But not only!

JUVE again lists Ettrich as a recognized law firm in the central region and writes about us in the Handbook of Commercial Law Firms 2024/2025:

“The Frankfurt boutique is well established with regional banks and major banks in litigation, especially in mass litigation. Commerzbank, among others, has relied on the team for several years. The unit manages small to medium-sized litigation portfolios for the defense against claims for damages. By expanding its team with litigation managers, it is increasingly in a position to handle larger mass proceedings. The boutique is also broadening its practice, e.g. in employment and real estate law, in order to respond to the demand for solutions for distressed commercial rental properties. This is a logical step to make the firm’s success less dependent on litigation.”

Judith Hauser (“quick-thinking, pragmatic”) is also often recommended for litigation and Hendrik Bourguignon for employment law.

We are delighted with the recognition of our work in recent years and look forward to making our strengths in real estate law and employment law even more visible in the market in the coming years.

JUVE Ranking Employment Law

JUVE again lists Hendrik Bourguignon in the 2024/2025 Handbook of Commercial Law Firms in the ranking of frequently recommended employment lawyers for advising executives.
