DORDA is proud to announce that the firm has once again achieved an outstanding success at the prestigious Lexology Client Choice Awards in 2024. At the ceremony in London, several of DORDA's highly qualified lawyers were honoured with a total of four awards, recognizing excellence in client service.
Axel Anderl, Managing Partner and Head of the Digital Industries Group at DORDA, was honoured for the 11th time with a Client Choice Award in the field of IT & Internet. His unique approach and professionalism have been particularly praised by clients, as one client quote illustrates: "I have seen many other lawyers, but no one like Axel Anderl. He does not act and appear like a typical lawyer, but like a rock star. He is unbelievable reliable, quick and professional but also has a very cool appearance. The combination is just awesome."
Furthermore, Nino Tlapak, Partner and Co-Head of the Data Protection Team, and Alexandra Ciarnau, Co-Head DORDA Digital Industries Group and lawyer specializing in "New Technologies", received ILO Client Choice Awards for the second year in a row for their outstanding work in the areas of data protection resp blockchain and artificial intelligence. Clients praised Nino Tlapak's dedication, in-depth knowledge, and exceptional ability to tackle complex data protection challenges, while Alexandra Ciarnau was recognized for her professional expertise and excellent communication skills.
Bernhard Müller, Partner and Head of the Public & Regulatory Practice Group, was honoured for the fourth time for his expertise in the area of public law. A combination of extensive legal expertise and the swift comprehension of complex issues makes him a highly effective lawyer, valued by clients in both advisory settings and in proceedings at the highest courts of public law.
The awards are based on detailed client feedback and underline not only the outstanding expertise and dedication of the lawyers, but also the high level of client satisfaction and the tangible benefits they receive from DORDA's clear and easy-to-understand advice. The fact that, in addition to Axel Anderl, two members of his team were also honoured again reflects how deeply rooted the concept of service is in DORDA's IT, IP and data protection practice group.
Axel Anderl commented on the awards as follows: "On behalf of this year's DORDA award winners, I would like to thank all in-house counsel who have contributed by giving feedback. At DORDA, we really live up to our claim “Clarity”: We always strive to provide clarity through forward-looking advice and identification of responsible options. We enable our clients to maximize their scope of action while considering the legal framework. The feedback received shows that our clients not only value our proactive approach and strategic advice, but also our innovative strength and ethical approach, particularly also in relation to billing arrangements. It fills me with particular pride that my team has a pioneering role and that Bernhard Müller’s expertise in public law is also so highly valued."
