A good 2 years after founding their boutique, the duo Corsten and Reichling are among the most conspicuous of the numerous new units. Both enjoy a considerable reputation in their respective areas of specialization. Reichling is particularly active in criminal tax matters, such as the former DFB general secretary on tax evasion in connection with the 2006 World Cup, as well as a colorful bouquet of other criminal tax matters, such as customs duties, VAT and transfer pricing. In addition to the Wirecard case, in which he is representing a former manager, Corsten is also involved in medical criminal law matters for a number of clinics. Thanks to their excellent connections to the civil law firms, both are increasingly called in when companies have disputes following transactions. The fact that they have already strengthened their team with an associate seems sensible in view of the many main hearing days that characterized the past year.

Valuation
2 of the best-known criminal lawyers of their generation set up their own firm in October 2022 and have already strengthened their team with an associate. Corsten, who joined from Kempf Schilling, recently made headlines with the mandate of a manager in the Wirecard trial and with the defense of the company, which had made common cause with the accused senior public prosecutor in Frankfurt. It is remarkable that companies such as Porsche, which he advised alongside Kempf in the past, continue to rely on him. Reichling, former partner at Feigen Graf, is more present in criminal tax law proceedings, for example on cum-ex, but also on issues such as wage tax or in the defense of the former general secretary of the DFB in connection with the World Cup. As both partners have already made a name for themselves in their predecessor law firms and criminal tax law issues in particular have become much more relevant in recent years, they should be able to realize a lot of potential in this constellation.
