“TOP Lawyer 2027” for Competition and Antitrust Law

The F.A.Z. Insti­tu­te, affi­lia­ted with the Frank­fur­ter All­ge­mei­ne Zei­tung, one of Germany’s lea­ding natio­nal news­pa­pers, and Quan­ti­Quest have published their “TOP Lawy­ers 2027” ran­king of Ger­man busi­ness lawy­ers. I am plea­sed to be among the lawy­ers reco­g­nis­ed in the field of com­pe­ti­ti­on and anti­trust law.

The ran­king is based on recom­men­da­ti­ons from fel­low lawy­ers and assess­ments by in-house coun­sel. Accor­ding to the F.A.Z. Insti­tu­te, par­ti­cu­lar weight in the ran­king of busi­ness lawy­ers was given to assess­ments by cor­po­ra­te legal departments.

The published sel­ec­tion for com­pe­ti­ti­on and anti­trust law com­pri­ses a total of only 20 lawy­ers in Ger­ma­ny. It includes lawy­ers from lea­ding inter­na­tio­nal and Ger­man busi­ness law firms as well as spe­cia­li­sed com­pe­ti­ti­on law bou­ti­ques, inclu­ding Fresh­fields, Hen­ge­ler Muel­ler, Gleiss Lutz, Noerr, Clif­ford Chan­ce, May­er Brown, BLOM­STEIN and GLA­DE MICHEL WIRTZ. I am lis­ted for Lou­ven Rechtsanwälte.

Ger­man and EU com­pe­ti­ti­on law has been a core focus of my legal prac­ti­ce and aca­de­mic work for many years. My Euro­pean prac­ti­ce also includes repre­sen­ting cli­ents in pro­cee­dings befo­re the Court of Jus­ti­ce and the Gene­ral Court of the Euro­pean Union.

A par­ti­cu­lar focus of my work lies at the inter­sec­tion of com­pe­ti­ti­on law, tele­com­mu­ni­ca­ti­ons regu­la­ti­on and digi­tal regu­la­ti­on. This includes, in par­ti­cu­lar, access to infra­struc­tu­re and data, inter­ope­ra­bi­li­ty, abu­se of mar­ket power and the regu­la­ti­on of digi­tal platforms.
