The legal publisher Juve has named Nörr Stiefenhofer Lutz as "Law firm of the year for Procurement Law". The announcement was made at the "Juve Awards 2008" in Frankfurt am Main.
The citation states: "The team under practice group head Uwe-Carsten Völlink was encountered in major projects with extensive public awareness as few others." Juve highlighted above all two successful Nörr projects. The team advised on the Al-pha Ventus tender, the first offshore wind park on the high seas, and Nörr also acted for the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt) in the invitations to tender for the prestigious satel-lite navigation system Galileo.
Juve also emphasises that these successes are no coincidence but "rather the result of strategically accurate decisions. […] Nörr impressively shows how a procurement practice can be established as a constant element in a Full Service office". |
  With four of the Innovative Lawyers Awards of the British newspaper Financial Times, Nörr Stiefenhofer Lutz is the most successful German law firm in international competition for market and client-centred ideas. In continental Europe, Nörr was placed third.
The results of this highly-regarded competition were announced in London on 16 October. "The result vindicates our strategy of giving partners entrepreneurial freedom even in a major law firm – the freedom to think commercially", said Dr. Dieter Schenk, Nörr's co-speaker.
Nörr obtained the award in the fields of compliance, service, financing and marketing. >>
The British financial magazine International Financial Law Review (IFLR) has named us as winner of the award for the "Restructuring Deal of the Year 2008" for the advice in the insolvency of the automotive supplier Schefenacker. The world market leader for rear view mirrors was, after Deutsche Nickel, the second German company to avoid German insolvency law by the formation of an English company. |
