PwC Legal recognized in the second edition of “Best Law Firms – Germany”

Düsseldorf, 25th September 2025

The PricewaterhouseCoopers Legal AG Rechtsanwaltsgesellschaft (PwC Legal) has been recognized in the second edition of “Best Law Firms – Germany” by Handelsblatt and Best Lawyers with four national and 16 regional accolades across multiple practice areas, including a Tier 1 national ranking in Tax Law.

The rankings are based on more than 10,000 client references and feedback from over 6,000 legal professionals. In addition, nearly 200 interviews were conducted with practice group leaders and law firm management, and extensive data was collected as part of a survey.

“Our recognitions are a special acknowledgment of our teams’ work and the quality of our legal advisory services. They show that our clients value our technical excellence as much as our interdisciplinary approach within the PwC network,” says Gerhard Wacker, Co-Lead of PwC Legal. “We thank our clients for their trust and congratulate all colleagues who contributed to this extraordinary success. At the same time, the result motivates us to continuously advance our advice with high quality, technological expertise, and pragmatic solutions to complex legal and regulatory issues.”
