In cooperation with Handelsblatt, the US specialist publisher Best Lawyers has once again identified Germany’s most renowned lawyers for the 2026 edition of “Germany’s Best Lawyers”. The results have been published in the Handelsblatt special issue “Die besten Anwälte und Kanzleien 2026”.
The ranking is based on an extensive peer‑to‑peer survey: business lawyers are asked which colleagues they would recommend in specific practice areas, with self‑nominations excluded. As a result, the listing is regarded as one of the most respected quality benchmarks in the German legal market.
We are delighted that several Maiwald lawyers have again been included in the “Best Lawyers 2026” list – a strong acknowledgement of their professional work and the trust placed in them by their peers.
Recognized lawyers:
- Dr. Christian Schäflein
- Lutz Kietzmann
- Dr. Alexander Schmitz
- Angela Zumstein
- Dr. Eva Ehlich
- Dr. Norbert Hansen
- Susanna Heurung
- Alexander Ortlieb
- Dr. Eva Dörner
- Dr. Dirk Bühler
- Dr. Regina Neuefeind
- Dr. Martin Huenges
- Dr. Marco Stief
We are particularly pleased that Dr. Marco Stief has also been recognized as “Lawyer of the Year”.
Congratulations to all our recognised colleagues on this well‑deserved distinction!
