At a gala event at the Alte Oper Frankfurt, bpv Hügel was named “Austrian Law Firm of the Year” at this year’s JUVE Awards. The law firm was one of five nominees and ultimately took home the coveted trophy.

This award and a big thank you to every member of our team, who always prioritise the interests of the clients entrusted to us,” said Christoph Nauer and Florian Neumayr, the two co-managing partners of bpv Huegel.

In this category, the editors also pay particular attention to aspects of sustainability, continuity and stringent measures compared to previous years.
