For the fourth time, JUVE presents 40 lawyers from law firms, corporates and the judiciary, for whom they predict a great future in the market. Berner Fleck Wettich is represtend in the list with its partner Carsten Wettich. What unites them all: They have not yet celebrated their 40th birthday.

According to JUVE, the “40 under 40” list is the result of many years of market observation and numerous editorial discussions. This is a prediction by the JUVE editors, whom the professional public will perceive as an “outperformer” in the future. In the market research for the well-known JUVE handbook, the editors analyzed the extraordinary deals, major processes and consulting projects for recurring names, and looked at a wide variety of legal areas, firm sizes and company sizes. The list is varied: 25 of the 40 lawyers come from law firms – large firms and boutiques, 15 from corporates or the judiciary.
