Notary competence

The arrival of Dr Hartmann gives Heuking Kühn Lüer Wojtek also competence in the notary field in Frankfurt , which to date has been exclusively served from the Berlin office (currently six notaries). 'We are very pleased about the additions in Frankfurt. The legal fields covered by our new peers are highly complementary to our portfolio. The focus on tax law and the notarial office, in particular, will further strengthen the Frankfurt office,' said Dr Andreas Urban, managing partner at Heuking Kühn Lüer Wojtek.
