Luther wins the 2024 JUVE Award as law firm of the year for regulation

Award for the best of the best: Luther was named Law Firm of the Year in the ‘Regulation’ category at the JUVE Awards 2024. The jury particularly praised the outstanding development of the law firm over the past year. Luther successfully prevailed against strong competitors and accepted the coveted trophy at the Alte Oper in Frankfurt on 24 October 2024.

‘We are delighted that the JUVE editors appreciate the planned development of our team strength and regulatory expertise in Luther's Health Care & Life Science practice,’ says Prof. Dr. Christian Burholt, who heads the team together with Dr. Oliver Kairies. Dr Oliver Kairies adds: ‘We accept this award on behalf of our entire team, whose outstanding work has further strengthened Luther's market position in the field of health care and life science’.

Dr. Holger Stappert, who coordinates the Energy industry group at Luther, says: ‘Regulatory law in the energy sector is developing very dynamically in many areas. At the beginning of the liberalisation of the energy markets, grid regulation was in the foreground. Now, with European regulation in the context of decarbonisation and energy trading, new areas of intensive regulation are constantly emerging, requiring seamless and close cooperation across many areas of law. We are very pleased that JUVE has honoured our excellent regulatory advice with an award.’

Dr Markus Sengpiel is very pleased with the success: ‘Being named “Law Firm of the Year” for regulatory advice shows that the market is taking notice of our strong development in this area.’ Elisabeth Lepique adds: ‘This result highlights our clear commitment to providing excellent advice in highly regulated markets in order to offer our clients tailored solutions.’

Luther was also nominated for ‘M&A’ as ‘Law Firm of the Year’, because Luther's support for corporate acquisitions has secured one of the top spots among Germany's legal consultancies with an impressive track record in major M&A deals.

This is the second time that Luther has received this prestigious award in the ‘Regulation’ category. The JUVE Award is one of the most prestigious honours in the German legal industry. There are currently 118 lawyers working in the field of regulatory advice. All award winners here: » 2024 Award Winners – JUVE Awards
