Juve Handbook 2011, Hamburg Region:
A highly recommended firm in Hamburg whose corporate practice (four of the five partners) enjoys an excellent standing. The firm has expanded considerably over the past few years and is now also active in litigation (especially Leo) and restructuring (Frank). The latter enjoys a particularly strong reputation as one of the foremost up-and-coming lawyers in Hamburg. Löhde himself benefits from many years of renown in the Hamburg market: he is frequently called upon by other law firms for advice on internal matters. The firm’s once unique status has weakened somewhat with the arrival of other corporate boutiques in Hamburg. But, as long as it continues to produce hard-hitting young partners, Löhde will remain among the solid players in the market.
Strengths: Corporate, frequently as an independent consultant.
Recommended lawyers: Axel Löhde, Hubertus Leo, Dr. Hartwig Schmidt-Hollburg, Dr. Andreas Witte, Dr. Tom Frank.
Practice: Particular specialization in M&A work and private equity & venture capital, as well as general corporate advice (including litigation). Advice also on trademarks and unfair competition. (5 partners, 4 associates).
