Recognised with JUVE Award 2018: CMS Germany named Law Firm of the Year for Healthcare

26/10/2018

Berlin – Commercial law firm CMS Germany was recognised yesterday evening with the JUVE Award 2018 as “Law Firm of the Year for Healthcare”. Each year, industry magazine JUVE selects law firms that have stood out in the past twelve months through the special quality of their work, their dynamic growth or outstanding management.

Dr Hubertus Kolster, Managing Partner of CMS in Germany: “I’m delighted with this accolade as Law Firm of the Year in the Healthcare category. The team has been particularly successful over the past year in this exciting area of law, which has become increasingly important for the firm.”

The reasons cited in the new JUVE Handbook for the award include the fact that the firm’s own young lawyers are driving the recent growth in the healthcare segment, in addition to experienced partners. The market has been favourably impressed, with the law firm now reaping the rewards of its courageous strategy, the citation continued. This success is particularly apparent in the medical centre market, where CMS is now supporting several highly active investors. Advising on licence agreements is another important pillar, JUVE added. The citation went on to say: “In product liability cases, CMS benefits in proceedings at national level by having numerous offices around the country.” Clients appreciate the comprehensive range of services, with the healthcare lawyers regularly working alongside competition specialists or IT lawyers.

Dr Jens Wagner, head of the CMS Life Sciences & Healthcare Sector Group: “The past year has been notable for a large number of transactions with an international dimension, together with the strategic development of our expertise. The Law Firm of the Year award is well-earned recognition of the hard work and professionalism of our entire team. Receiving the JUVE Award provides an added incentive for us to continue our successful strategy.”

The JUVE Awards are regarded as among the most prestigious industry accolades in the German legal market. JUVE, the industry magazine for commercial lawyers, selects firms annually that have notched up outstanding achievements in the various fields of legal advice during the year. The prize winners are chosen on the basis of extensive research carried out by the editorial team for the JUVE Handbook.
