A new career path has also been established for outstanding lawyers, namely that of 'Counsel'. 'With the new partners, each from a different department, we continue our policy of integrated service and grow in strategically important industries in response to the demands of our clients ', Noerr Co-Speaker Dr. Dieter Schenk said. The nomination of the new Associated Partner also contributes to this. 'We are delighted that we can this year also open the way to partnership to many colleagues both in Germany and abroad based on their outstanding performances'.
