An independent, international, corporate law firm, Beiten Burkhardt was founded in 1990 with just 25 lawyers. Two decades, the firm now boasts around 310 lawyers in 12 offices all over the world.
Numerous large scale enterprises and corporate groups in various industry sectors have entrusted us with their projects over the years. Rather than a simple off-the-shelf product, our lawyers provide advice which is specifically tailored to ensure the client receives the best service possible.
Thanks to our long-established presence in Eastern Europe, Russia and China, we are able offer guidance for a wide range of projects in these regions. Through our local networks, we are able to foster contacts and speed up procedures.
We have also created a network of law firms in various other jurisdictions where we do not yet have our own presence. This ensures that our clients receive the same level of service no matter where they do business.
Our experience in diverse industries reflects the breadth of our clientele. Clients include DAX-listed companies and global market leaders, as well as privately-owned companies, governments and public authorities.
Our lawyers remain abreast of the latest developments and are able to meet the needs of our clients today and to anticipate their needs of tomorrow.
A decisive, business-oriented approach keeps us one step ahead and we intend to maintain this advantage in the future.
