By appointing Dr. Alexander Beyer (36), Marcel Hohagen, LL.M. (33), Michael Jakobs LL.M. (38), Dr. Simon Kubiak (36) and Dr. Martin Schaaf (37) BLD pays tribute to the extraordinary development of the new partners’ departments. According to managing partner Dr. Rainer Büsken (58), responsible for partnership issues, this appointment showed that BLD’s investment in human resource development was paying off and that BLD was well-positioned as regards the younger lawyers.
During the past years, BLD has continually enlarged the partnership and ensured that despite the law firm’s rapid growth the ratio between partners and associates remains unchanged. Name giving partner Dr. Theo Langheid (62) explains that "our clients expect on every issue of insurance law and liability law the best performance available on the market, not only from a legal perspective, but also regarding the client relationship and support". He adds "by the latest appointment of partners we ensure our performance promise for the future".
