The ARQIS Way represents our law firm\u2019s mission. We map out our own approaches to forming our ideas and policies, and to acting in accordance with our positions and visions, so that we can develop concepts and solutions that are perfectly tailored to our clients\u2019 requirements.<\/p>\n

These three words reflect our competence, our aspirations and our values. They don\u2019t just refer to the work with our clients, but to all areas that ARQIS comes into contact with.<\/p>\n

At ARQIS we cultivate corporate, ecological and social responsibility.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\n\n\n\n

\n 20 years of Big Law Boutique: a look behind the scenes <\/div>\n

Podcast with Dr. Shigeo Yamaguchi and Dr. Friedrich Gebert<\/h2>\n

What does it mean to be a Big Law Boutique? How do focus groups come about and why is entrepreneurial thinking so important for lawyers? What role do ownership and mindset play when starting a career? And how does a law firm position itself between specialisation and transaction strength?<\/p>\n

Dr. Shigeo Yamaguchi, Senior Partner, and Dr. Friedrich Gebert, Managing Partner, discuss the development of ARQIS since 2006, its growth into a unique big law boutique and the strategic realignment of its leadership in the latest episode of the podcast \"Irgendwas mit Recht\" (German).<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \n To the podcast<\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
