The principal event of the Association of German Attorneys (Deutscher Anwaltsverein – DAV) was held over the course of three days and was inaugurated by the German Justice Minister Mr. Heiko Maas. With over 67.000 members, DAV is the largest lawyer association in the World. It is structured in local and regional organizations and currently comprises 14 foreign organizations including DAV Italia. The conference was structured in seminars and working groups addressing all fields of law, and has been closely scrutinized by German media and political representatives alike. It functions both as a primary platform to maintain and strengthen networking capabilities as well as to gain expert insight in the latest developments in each particular legal branch.
Mr. Tankred Thiem – who is admitted to both the German and Italian Bar – has been a board member of DAV Italia since 2007. DAV Italia was founded in 2006. The activities within the Association of German Attorneys is but one aspect of the long-lasting and wide spread German-Italian relationship, a context within which LGV, over the years, has established significant and highly productive ties with important German law firms and multinational companies.
