WEISSWERT Attorney Maximilian Weiss Once Again Named a “Leading Global Plaintiff Lawyer”
Attorney Maximilian Weiss, Director of the Stuttgart-based law firm WEISSWERT, has once again been included in the list of the 500 leading plaintiff lawyers worldwide. This recognition confirms the distinction he received the previous year.
The Lawdragon 500 Global Plaintiff Lawyers 2025 is considered one of the most prestigious international accolades for lawyers who have made a significant impact representing plaintiffs in particularly complex and precedent-setting cases—often under pioneering conditions.
Recognition Through Peer Review
The selection by Lawdragon is based on a multi-stage process: in addition to submissions and editorial review, peer reviews play a central role—meaning nominations and recommendations by other respected members of the international legal community. Honorees are individuals who demonstrate exceptional legal expertise, strategic thinking, and tenacity in challenging proceedings.
Maximilian Weiss was especially recognized for his work in Financial & Securities Litigation—again specifically for his representation of investors in cross-border capital markets disputes. WEISSWERT is also the only independent German law firm with an attorney recognized as a Leading Global Plaintiff Lawyer.
Statement from Maximilian Weiss
„We are not only honored by the renewed recognition – it also affirms the path we have deliberately chosen: building a specialized and independent boutique law firm without formal ties to Anglo-American large firms. It’s rewarding to see that this concept has proven successful. Going forward, we will continue to rely on our independence and the strength of a focused team – well connected internationally, with a solid base in Stuttgart – to support our clients across Germany and beyond when things get particularly complex“, explains attorney and WEISSWERT Director Maximilian Weiss.
