Wolf Theiss wins the Lawyer's Law Firm of the Year Award for Eastern Europe and the Balkans
WOLF THEISS is pleased to announce that it has won "Law Firm of the Year: Eastern Europe and the Balkans" at The Lawyer's European Awards ceremony held on 4 November in Barcelona.
The European Awards, the first held by The Lawyer, recognise the outstanding work performed by law firms across continental Europe and were judged by managing partners and in-house lawyers at FTSE 100 companies. The award continues Wolf Theiss’ success at achieving recognition in the legal sector and enhances its profile in Eastern Europe and the Balkans.
The criteria for winning the award included evidence of a strong local identity and market share, strategic vision, strong partnership ethos, financial performance and growth, consistent excellence in their chosen sectors and excellent talent management.
"It has been a very busy and successful year for our Firm, and winning an award against such strong competition means a great deal to us. This award not only recognises the very good work of our people across 12 offices, but also exemplifies our local knowledge of the Eastern European market and the Balkans," said Wolf Theiss Managing Partner, Horst Ebhardt. "Eastern Europe and the Balkans are once again becoming vital markets for our clients and the next year promises even greater and more interesting projects which we definitely look forward to."
In presenting the award to Wolf Theiss, The Lawyer described the Firm's achievements in the region as follows: "Pursuing a modern and fresh approach to the region, Wolf Theiss has solidified its position over a strong year for the firm. The past 12 months saw it roll out its signature tax practice from Austria to all of its offices and take the expertise from its strong infrastructure and energy practice in Budapest to other offices in the region. The firm actively pursued a policy of approaching big-ticket US and UK clients, backing up its one-stop shop strategy with firm commitments from its partnership. A key year for an innovative law firm that is fast becoming one to watch in Eastern Europe."
