Taylor Wessing is Law Firm of the Year Austria

Presentation of the coveted JUVE Awards

Taylor Wessing has won one of the most prestigious awards in the legal sector in the German-speaking world, the 'Law Firm of the Year Austria' award, presented by the renowned legal publisher JUVE. At a gala event in Frankfurt on 24 October, awards were presented in a total of 18 categories, 17 of which were for law firms in Germany. In the category 'Law Firm of the Year Austria', Taylor Wessing emerged as the winner from five nominees.

Raimund Cancola, Managing Partner of Taylor Wessing CEE, expressed his delight on behalf of the entire team: This award is a great honour for us, as JUVE has long since made a name for itself not only in Germany but also in Austria. The award confirms that our hard work and business strategy, as well as the latest developments in our office, are being recognised by the market. However, the award is by no means just an endorsement of recent developments. Without our unique team - in Vienna and in our CEE offices - and our valuable and valued clients, this recognition would not have been possible! We owe a big thank you to them all!

Overall development counts

According to JUVE, 'Law Firm of the Year Austria' is an award that 'recognises the overall development of Austrian law firms and, in particular, their management performance beyond individual practice areas. The editors also take into account aspects of sustainability, continuity and rigorous action compared to previous years in this category.

The criteria include strategic performance, client focus, firm culture, junior staff policy, profitability, staff growth and expansion into new business areas or markets. The decisive factor is a dynamic development over the past 12 months.

JUVE has been presenting its annual awards since 2001. The publishing house was originally founded in 1997 with the idea of bringing the Anglo-Saxon concept of the legal press to Germany and has also covered the Austrian market since 2012. The 'Law Firm of the Year Austria' award was launched in 2013.
