'Absolute experts in the area of press and publishing law. Always in tune with the times – or even faster. For example, all press law questions about AI could be answered satisfactorily immediately before ChatGPT was on everyone's lips. Collaboration across all areas at SKW Schwarz works smoothly and extremely professionally. I can only praise the law firm highly and recommend it unreservedly. Dr. Johann Heyde deserves special mention here.'
