JUVE Awards 2022: CMS recognised as Law Firm of the Year and in five other categories

28/10/2022

Berlin – International commercial law firm CMS Germany was recognised yesterday evening as Law Firm of the Year at the JUVE Awards 2022. It also received accolades in the categories Regulation; Technology and Media; Dispute Resolution; Distribution, Trade and Logistics; and Region East. JUVE, the industry magazine for commercial lawyers, selects law firms on an annual basis that are notable for their achievements in a particular area of law or a particular region over the previous twelve months.

Dr Martin Vorsmann, Managing Partner of CMS Germany: “We are thrilled that CMS picked up awards in a total of six categories, including Law Firm of the Year. It demonstrates that CMS’s business model remains successful and it highlights CMS as a market-leading firm in the German and international legal services market. I would like to thank everyone at CMS whose work day-in, day-out has made this possible, but equally all clients who choose our services.

“Regulation, Technology and Media, Dispute Resolution, and Distribution, Trade and Logistics are key areas where we have steadily expanded our presence in recent years. These awards reflect the well-deserved recognition within the professional community for our achievements in these fields. My congratulations go to the teams who have worked so hard on behalf of clients to deliver creativity and excellence,” Vorsmann continued.

“This success is no coincidence, nor is it a flash in the pan or just empty noise in the legal press. It indicates a real gain in market strength over recent years with regard to both substance and quality, and shows us that we’re getting a lot of things right. Being recognised in this way can and should provide us with additional motivation, and we need to continue along the same lines,” Vorsmann concluded.

The reasons cited by JUVE for recognising CMS as Law Firm of the Year include the fact that CMS brings together over a dozen market-leading practices under one roof. “Its regulation experts are playing a key role in the energy crisis, while the large teams covering employment, media and IT law are themselves powerhouses. They have made information and data management into an art form, they predict trends and respond rapidly to new market situations. The corporate practice also benefits from this progress. With clients such as VW and Commerzbank, it is advancing into territory occupied by other top law firms and now has a proven ability to get deals worth billions over the line,” the laudation stated.

The JUVE Awards are regarded as among the most prestigious industry accolades in the German legal market. The JUVE editorial board selects law firms that have performed particularly well in the various fields during the past year. The prize winners are chosen on the basis of extensive research carried out by the editorial team for the JUVE Handbook. The gala event was held at the Old Opera House in Frankfurt/Main.

Since the JUVE Awards were first launched, CMS Germany has been recognised on numerous occasions.
