Germany Is Not Ranked
Germany is not ranked. 16 firms are on file and 11 are verified against their own websites, but none has published the evidence a position needs: recognitions from at least two independent publishers or a professional count on its own site. The list appears when that evidence does.

How Germany Is Ranked
No firm in Germany is ranked. Ranking requires at least two independent publishers to have recognised the same firm, taken from the firm's own announcements; that threshold is not met here yet, so the whole list is alphabetical and implies no order.
What This Ranking Does Not Rest On
- 5 of 16 entries still rest on a Wikipedia category rather than the firm's own website
- no court record feeds any firm's position — judgments are collected but not yet attributed to the firms that argued them
- no firm has made a submission, because intake is not open
- no peer or client review has been collected
