The Ger­man busi­ness dai­ly Han­dels­blatt has just published its 2025 ran­king of “Ger­many’s Best Lawy­ers.” I am hono­u­red to be included in the cate­go­ry “Ones to Watch – Lawy­ers of the Future” for the field of anti­trust and com­pe­ti­ti­on law.

Accor­ding to Han­dels­blatt, this distinc­tion is award­ed to lawy­ers who, despi­te being ear­ly in their care­ers, have alre­a­dy demons­tra­ted excep­tio­nal achie­ve­ments and built a remar­kab­le repu­ta­ti­on. The sel­ec­tion is based on a peer-to-peer pro­cess: nomi­na­ti­ons are made exclu­si­ve­ly by fel­low lawy­ers. As Han­dels­blatt puts it: “Tho­se who know the best lawy­ers are the lawy­ers themselves.”

I would the­r­e­fo­re like to express my sin­ce­re thanks to all col­le­agues in the mar­ket who nomi­na­ted me and thus ack­now­led­ged my work in this way.
