The rating by the US-American publishing company Best Lawyers, published in Germany in cooperation with the newspaper Handelsblatt, presents the most prestigious lawyers and law firms worldwide. "Law firms of the year" and "lawyers of the year" are rewarded on the basis of their outstanding market reputation in each case.
The ranking is exclusively based on interviews with lawyers. They are asked to nominate those colleagues outside of their own law firm they would especially recommend in case they are conflicted. Being law firm of the year 2016 BLD enjoys high professional esteem in insurance law – demonstrably so also from the colleagues’ point of view.
BLD counsel Dr. Reinhard Dallmayr was also rewarded with the award "lawyer of the year in insurance law". BLD partners Dr. Theo Langheid and Dr. Joachim Grote also rank among the best lawyers in Germany in this branch of law. Dr. Rainer Büsken is recommended as outstanding lawyer particularly regarding the area of product liability insurance.
