Based on colleague recommendations and client reviews.
The F.A.Z. Institute and QuantiQuest have identified and honoured the top lawyers in Germany for the first time.
The study, 'TOP Lawyers & Commercial Law Firms 2026', showcases legal excellence and provides individuals seeking legal counsel with reliable guidance on selecting the right lawyer. It was based on a multi-stage investigation process that took into account client assessments and recommendations from professional colleagues, as well as the assessments of corporate lawyers for commercial lawyers. Around 40,000 professional recommendations were considered and evaluated.
