Best Law Firms™ - Germany rankings are based on an evaluation process that includes the collection of client and professional reference assessments, peer review from leading lawyers, industry leader interviews, and additional research.
The strength of Reed Smith’s offering in Germany was also demonstrated earlier this year, when Best Lawyers in Germany™ and Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch in Germany™ recognised 22 individual lawyers from the firm.
The practice areas covered by those 22 Reed Smith lawyers included advertising, arbitration and mediation, banking and finance, competition, corporate, data security and privacy, employment, investment funds, IT and technology, media, mergers and acquisitions, private equity, real estate, and tax.
