November 3, 2021
FRANKFURT—Covington has been named Law Firm of the Year in Frankfurt and Hessen at this year’s JUVE Awards.
JUVE highlights that Covington’s Frankfurt office “has fully integrated itself in the [firm’s] international network” after the team of Heymann & Partner joined Covington three years ago. The publication cites Covington’s strong concentration in the “technology and life science sectors” and notes its expanding relationship with BioNTech as well as various notable transactions, such as representation of Capio, in the sale of its healthcare business, and Renesas Electronics, in the acquisition of Dialog Semiconductor. JUVE also points to Covington’s expanding bench strength with the recent arrival of a number of new associates.
Henning Bloss, managing partner of Covington’s Frankfurt office, commented: “Our team is delighted to be recognized by JUVE Awards in such an important category. The entire office has worked incredibly hard over the past three years to build on the foundations laid by Heymann & Partner, and we are pleased to have the support of so many clients and colleagues across the region and beyond. Covington remains dedicated to the German market, and we believe the firm brings a very special set of skills to the table when it comes to both international clients looking to invest in Germany, and German companies looking to navigate the world of global commerce.”
The JUVE Awards are among the most important industry awards in the German legal market. For the selection of the award winners, JUVE bases its decision on extensive surveys of clients, competitors, young legal professionals, and judges. In addition to outstanding expertise, criteria include strategic focus, client orientation, and business prospects of firms and individual practices.
