SKW Schwarz is an independent law firm with around 130 lawyers, four offices and a common claim: we think outside the box. In a world where everything is in motion, you require legal advice that recognises change as an opportunity. A firm that keeps on going where others have come to an end – and is just as passionate about complex issues as it is about new technologies, new markets and new challenges.
As a full-service law firm, we advise on all relevant areas of business law, including in an area that is particularly important for businesses: the future. That is why today we are already working in the key legal areas of tomorrow. Digital transformation, disruptive technologies and innovative business models are changing everything. The legal issues arising here every day are our passion.
We are not just talking about digitalisation; we are actively living it. That is why we have established our own Legal Tech division, and have consistently developed our activities since 2018 to simplify processes, offer new solutions and work more cost efficiently.
