Kanzleien in Deutschland 2014

FPS continues its successful growth, with higher revenues, more attorneys, and a stronger corporate law practice. Now as before, FPS is among the trend setters for the practice areas of IP/IT and real estate and construction law.  Energy law is another area in which FPS, which has always been well-positioned for public infrastructure law, is well on the way of becoming a serious competitor for the large law firms and boutique law firms specializing in this area. At the same time, it is apparent that the firm's attorneys think of themselves not as anonymous members of a mega law firm, but rather as team players in a (large) midsized firm. This is evident not only from the surprisingly pleasant lawyer-client interaction all the way up to the top of the firm, but also from the excellent price-performance ratio for which the firm is known on the market. The considerable number of long-term clients speaks for itself.
