External Recognition of schirach.law
Awards in white collar crime can provide an additional indicator of an attorney's or firm's professional reputation. However, selection procedures and criteria vary depending on the ranking and publisher.
Nevertheless, a ranking does not replace an individual assessment as to which attorney is suited for a specific proceeding. Specialization, experience with the respective type of proceeding, personalized advice, and strategic approach remain decisive factors.

Discretion over public client references
Criminal defense regularly involves sensitive personal, corporate, and economic information. Particularly in white collar crime, the mere public association of a name with investigative proceedings can have significant repercussions.
schirach.law therefore deliberately refrains from naming clients or specific mandates on this website for promotional purposes. Awards and rankings are documented; confidential client relationships remain confidential.
