These include banking and finance, corporate and M&A, restructuring and insolvency, employment, data protection, antitrust and compliance, planning, environmental and procurement law, as well as litigation and arbitration. Grüner pointed to the region’s mid-sized companies and long-established family businesses, which expect personal advice from lawyers familiar with local conditions.
