We are delighted to once again be listed in the JUVE ranking for the central region – confirmation that we are on the right track.
The JUVE ranking describes the Central region as a market in transition: while traditional growth transactions remain subdued, demand is growing for specialized advisors who combine operational strength with genuine sector expertise. Frankfurt is developing into an incubator for specialized boutiques, an environment in which we can clearly position ourselves with our focus.
For Ettrich, JUVE particularly highlights our strength in the defense of consumer and investor claims in mass proceedings. We manage litigation portfolios for financial institutions and industrial companies – from small and medium-sized litigation complexes to large series. For our clients, we are increasingly the operative litigation unit for system-driven mass and series issues – from phishing to enforcement of claims to GDPR. JUVE describes the Central region as increasingly characterized by digital regulation – topics such as DORA and AI governance set the agenda. We support our clients precisely where regulatory complexity meets operational pressure.
We were particularly pleased with the recommendation by name of Judith Hauser – described by competitors as “quick-thinking and pragmatic” – and of Hendrik Bourguignon in employment law. Many thanks for that!
At the end of 2025, we strengthened our notary’s office with a new addition: Hannah Henseling is involved in the structuring, preparation and processing of notarial transactions in real estate and corporate law and also advises on inheritance law arrangements – particularly in the area of asset succession. We look forward to expanding this area of advice with her.
