Nörr Stiefenhofer Lutz has successfuly defended its title as the most innovative German law firm. According to the criteria of the „Financial Times Innovative Lawyers", Nörr achieved 42nd place in the „FT Law 50". There is no other German law firm in the Top 50.

Law firms from Europe and the USA are evaluated in the FT list as to innovation and the efficacy of their advice. For the placing this year, restructuring/distressed M&A (including the sale of Knaus Tabbert), the EU Chemical Regulation (REACH), film financing (revised German Film Promotion Fund), the European company, cloud computing and IT restructuring, were decisive.
