JUVE Ranking 2023/2024: JUVE Ranking 2023/2024: SKW Schwarz among the top 50 law firms in Germany

The current JUVE Handbook of Commercial Law Firms 2023/2024 has been published. Special congratulations go to the IP team here, as it was named "Law Firm of the Year for Trademark and Competition Law 2023" at the JUVE Awards ceremony in Frankfurt yesterday. 

The SKW Schwarz media team is once again recommended as a "five-star practice" in the ranking! The "Distribution and Trade" team moved up a tier and most other teams maintained their rankings.

As one of the top 50 law firms in Germany, SKW Schwarz continues to be described as a real "alternative to large law firms" and is recommended for employment law, data protection, corporate law, IT, M&A, trademark and design law, media, succession/wealth/foundations, press, public procurement law, contract and copyright law, distribution and trade, and competition law.

The editors also see SKW Schwarz as a firm that enjoys an excellent reputation, particularly as an advisor on digital and tech issues, and is consistently building on its strong presence in the tech and media industries. Furthermore, the editors write that hardly any other medium-sized law firm has so consistently dedicated itself to the topic of digitalization, both in the advice it provides and in the way it delivers its services.
