NOERR
From its German roots as a partnership in Munich in 1950, Noerr has developed into a large European firm with five offices in Germany, one in London, one in New York and a further seven across central and eastern Europe. The firm retains a strong presence and excellent reputation in its founding country and our research identifies its strength in the areas of competition and environmental law in particular. We recognise 19 lawyers across 11 sectors.
In competition, three lawyers are selected for inclusion. Karsten Metzlaff is “highly regarded” for competition and antitrust law matters and also features in the franchise chapter for his “vast knowledge” of franchise and distribution law. Alexander Birnstiel is “highly proficient” in German and European competition law and is “highly sought after” and Kathrin Westermann is a “skilled practitioner” and “greatly admired” for her German and European antitrust law work.
Three lawyers feature in the environment chapter. Martin Ahlhaus is “well versed” in environmental matters pertaining to products with a focus on electrical appliances. Uwe Erling specialises in public law with a focus on environmental law as well as climate change, emissions trading and renewable energy.
Noerr receives further multiple listings with Michael Molitoris appearing in insurance and reinsurance and commercial litigation as well as product liability defence. Molitoris is an “excellent” lawyer and “highly recommended” by peers.
Noerr demonstrates the “impressive talent” of its lawyers and the broad capabilities of its lawyers through its listings with further recognition in the chapters of corporate governance, internet and e-commerce, management labour and employment, public procurement, real estate and franchise.
