In 'Advice to Insurance Companies,' practice area head and managing partner Dr. Joachim Grote is again listed by The Legal 500 as a 'Leading Name' as well as one of the leading legal advisors to insurance companies thanks to his "extensive experience in the areas of insurance regulatory law and life insurance." In addition to Dr. Tobias Britz, Dr. Alexander Beyer and his "expertise in the area of company health insurance" were also convincing in questions relating to data protection. Special mention was also made of Dr. Andrea Nowak-Over's commitment to advising clients on competition and antitrust law as well as compliance.
In product liability and product safety matters, clients have benefited from the "in-depth knowledge" of the "broad-based team," particularly in the life sciences, consumer goods, automotive, pharmaceuticals and food sectors, as well in national as in cross-border cases, according to The Legal 500. Dr. Jendrik Böhmer, LL.M., and Carsten Hösker, LL.M., are singled out in particular for their "expertise and negotiating skills in complex product liability matters and here especially [in] automotive recall." In addition, Marcel Hohagen, LL.M., who works extensively in the area of product liability, is highly regarded.
