Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
- 'Janina Pochhammer deals exclusively with topics in the area of plant engineering and therefore has very good industry know-how and is also an extremely strong negotiator.'
- 'Carsten Schulz has particularly strong IT-related know-how and is one of the pioneers in providing advice in connection with the planning and construction of data centers.'
- 'The Projects team at TW around Janina Pochhammer and Carsten Schulz has excellent expertise and experience. For many years, this team has been known throughout Germany for its track record in the areas of maritime and industrial plant construction as well as in the area of on- and offshore renewables. Collaboration is always uncomplicated, not least thanks to the team's hands-on mentality.'
- 'The advice is always extremely committed and proactive with a keen eye for pragmatic approaches, i.e. without getting lost in small details. This is extremely important for us as a company with a high rate of success and a strong drive to achieve the goal or result. Another big advantage is that in an urgent matter, dispute resolution is carried out by the same department, so the technical know-how is not lost by moving to another (litigation) department. The billing is fair and appropriate for the matter at hand.'
