It has never felt as dark as it does this year. This is not only a sensed, „alternative“ fact. Looking out from 24th floor of one shabby skyscraper at other shining skyscrapers is nowhere near as dark as to when looking out on ground level at your desk at home. What I have mainly done this winter.

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.

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.

Weil es die noch nicht in 16″ gibt. Und wir sonst von 15″ auf 13″ zurück gehen hätten müssen. Schade.
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.

Weeks #22 to #24: Time flies, we still have so much to do. For DAC6, we have introduced an interim process just in time and selected in parallel a tool that has been configured and trained over the last few weeks and will soon go live. Many thanks, Olaf Scholz.
