The law firm boutique dtb rechtsanwälte is recognised as a leading law firm in Germany for its outstanding legal services in the area of Private Clients and Nonprofits. The Legal 500 is considered to be the largest legal guide in the world.
The Private Clients sector saw strong growth in 2021, which continued in 2022. The uncertainty caused by the Covid 19 pandemic was overshadowed by the global economic and geopolitical imbalance, leading to heightened concern among business families and HNWIs about protecting their assets. As a result, law firms working in this area were increasingly tasked with creating innovative structures to protect assets of all kinds, from businesses and real estate to unconventional assets such as cryptoassets and works of art. At the same time, pandemic-related demand for mandates to create business succession plans and wills increased. Lawyers noted that people who had not planned or changed their wills for decades were now making succession arrangements.
Likewise, relocation planning was increasingly targeted by many HNWIs and business families, and thus also by practices acting for this client base. This was partly due to geopolitical uncertainties, but numerous wealthy retirees also set their sights on moving to Mallorca or the USA. In the area of foundations and family offices, the focus in 2021 was on tax efficiency. At the same time, the number of newly established charitable foundations continued to rise; they deal with various topics, such as the inclusion of migrant children, animal welfare and research into diseases.
For 33 years, The Legal 500 has analysed the performance of law firms around the world. The comprehensive research programme is revised and updated every year to provide the most up-to-date picture of the global legal market. The Legal 500 assesses the strengths of law firms in over 150 countries.
