We are one of the leading experts on matters of sustainability in German law. We were one of the first German corporate law firms that, many years ago, set up an interdisciplinary team of specialists in company law/M&A, banking and financing law, public law & regulatory law, energy law, real estate law as well as competition, trademark, and freedom-of-speech law. We have years of experience advising clients on Environmental Social Governance (ESG) issues. Our expertise covers all relevant industries. Our specialist knowledge in the field of sustainability implies that our colleagues are very much in demand as lecturers at academic institutions and as authors of specialist publications that address these new legal issues in great detail.
Impact – individual tailor-made solutions with a great value-creation potential
We assist companies and investors with an analysis of the ESG criteria that are relevant in their specific sector. As part of that work, we develop specific tailor-made concepts, be it in connection with the implementation of ESG-compliant corporate governance or the best possible incorporation of social and ecological goals into company documents, shareholder agreements and investment guidelines.
Sustainability – core component of our firm’s strategy
We accept our social responsibility. We implement, in our firm, what we recommend to our clients. Climate and environmental protection as well as diversity form part of the foundations of our firm. We are partners of the Global Alliance of Impact Lawyers (GAIL), an association of lawyers engaged in the development of policies and laws that help build a sustainable economic system at international level. As part of this commitment we support, among others, the OECD when it comes to theoretical questions concerning the German legal system.
