Kather Augenstein Team Recognised Across Three Categories in Handelsblatt – Best Lawyers Ranking 2027

Five experts on one list, spread across three categories: that’s how the latest Best Lawyers ranking, published with Handelsblatt, reads for our team.

The ranking, “Germany’s Best Lawyers 2027”, is based on the exclusive Handelsblatt peer-review process – an annual survey identifying leading lawyers and emerging talent across the DACH region. This year’s edition recommends 9,516 lawyers and patent attorneys, including 226 named “Lawyer of the Year,” alongside a dedicated “Ones to Watch” category for rising talent.

Intellectual Property Law: Dr Christof Augenstein, Dr Peter Kather, Miriam Kiefer LL.M., and Sören Dahm – recognised for their work on infringement, litigation, and UPC matters.

Patent Litigation: Dr Christof Augenstein again — recognised for his ability to assess and steer complex IP conflicts strategically at an early stage.

Ones to Watch: Dr Benjamin Pesch, recommended in Intellectual Property Law – a name to know as the UPC docket keeps growing.

Best Lawyers bases its selection on an extensive peer survey among practicing lawyers. Recommendations of this kind carry particular weight – they come from colleagues and peers who know the work firsthand.

Congratulations to everyone listed. And to our clients: thank you for your trust, which made this recognition possible in the first place.
