Virtual Christmas Party

Yesterday we also had the virtual Christmas party of the Innovation & Best Delivery Hub in Frankfurt. We baked Bethmännchen together, drank Christmas beer, Riesling and Glühwein, ate raw-milk cheese, baguette and roasted almonds, played and listened to handmade music. It was so wonderful, it exceeded my high expectations by far. Thanks to all.

Goodbye FBC

Yesterday was the last day at the FBC.

The move out marks the end of an era in Frankfurt. This is where Pünder, Volhard & Weber ultimately became Clifford Chance in Germany. We moved in over 36 years ago, on 1 April 1983; at that time only on the 30th floor. After the merger in 2000, we occupied almost half of the building. I was at FBC for the first time in 1996. The very first time, I had the pleasure of meeting Rüdiger Volhard. I have had offices on the 23rd, 24th, 26th, 30th, 31st, 32nd and 34th floors over the years.

RIP RBG

When I’m sometimes asked when will there be enough [women on the Supreme Court] and I say, „When there are nine,“ people are shocked. But there’d been nine men, and nobody’s ever raised a question about that.
