Testimonials

'Skilled and professional team, very pleasant to work with.'
'The team is characterized by cross-hierarchical know-how, which is promoted by the direct involvement of team members and direct communication with clients. Specific knowledge in the area of financing is paired with know-how in real estate law, which is essential for result-oriented legal advice and contract negotiations; this may be taken for granted, but it is still not.'
'We have been working very successfully with Claudia Hard and Anika Mitzkait for years, a dream team so to speak. They go the extra mile for their clients; both are characterized by their ability to think abstractly and to make nuances in legal issues understandable to their clients. They are tough negotiators, but never forget that in the end it is all about actually concluding a contract.'
'The law firm offers a comprehensive service and leaves no question unanswered. It is fast, competent, reliable and well respected in the market. But GT is always cooperative when it comes to finding an agreement.'
'Claudia Hard is a highly respected lawyer who we are very happy to hire on a regular basis.

We recommend her without reservation.'
'Anika Mitzkait is always easy to contact, knows the problems in detail and offers pragmatic solutions.'
