2023

Georg Rauber is sharp and fast in his analytic legal way of thinking. At the same time, he is advising us very well in what makes sense commercially, and not what is possible legally. He has a great sensitivity in value for money, and only proposes legal actions which make sense financially.

2023

Georg Rauber has the unlimited ability to anticipate the effect of measures and to act accordingly; unrivalled skills in strategy development.

2023

Georg Rauber as senior partner is our go-to expert when things get complex and industry/company specific. With Georg, you will not get a “standard” solution and thoughts, as opposed to highly company-specific/situation-specific solutions. He is very responsive to when creative/innovative solutions are needed and always does fulfil/over-deliver on my expectations.
