Gleiss Lutz was named Law Firm of the Year for Distribution, Trade and Logistics at the JUVE Awards ceremony held on 24 October 2024 at the Frankfurt Alte Oper. With this award, the JUVE editorial team has recognised Gleiss Lutz’s leading role in commercial matters, especially with regard to cutting–edge issues such as ESG and digitalisation.
“Gleiss is now at the vanguard not only in the digital sphere: competitors also acknowledge its Distribution practice’s ‘pivotal role in ESG’, which is chiefly being shaped by product regulation and liability experts Prof. Eric Wagner and Dr. Marc Ruttloff. [...] The fact that Gleiss is developing this aspect largely out of its regulatory work gives it the advantage of also being well positioned for similar cutting-edge issues such as AI and cybersecurity,” wrote JUVE in praise of the firm’s successful Commercial practice.
“This award serves as confirmation that we are a top address for commercial matters. Our cross-practice and interdisciplinary approach coupled with our Product Compliance Hub enable us to offer our clients comprehensive advice on digitalisation projects, ESG activities and product regulation and liability. It’s a great result for our entire Commercial team,” said Prof. Eric Wagner, head of Commercial and co-head of Regulatory & Litigation, ESG and Product Compliance at Gleiss Lutz.
“The award also recognises the quality of the regulatory advice we provide against a background of national and EU-wide regulations and directives on supply chain compliance and sustainable transformation,” added Dr. Marc Ruttloff, head of Gleiss Lutz’s Public Law practice and co-head of ESG and Product Compliance.
The JUVE Awards are seen as one of the most important industry awards on the German legal market. In selecting the award winners, JUVE bases its decision on surveys of clients, competitors, young legal professionals and judges. Alongside outstanding expertise, criteria include the strategic focus, client orientation and business prospects of the firm and its practices.
