RP RICHTER & PARTNER: Best Tax Team in Germany

May 7, 2008 (TORONTO) – JHI is pleased to announce that JHI firm RP RICHTER & PARTNER, a nationwide tax, audit and law firm based in Munich, has won the international WORLD FINANCE “Best Tax Team in Germany 2008” award.

A panel of leading personalities from the financial world has, for the first time, awarded prizes to lawyers and tax advisors on behalf of the renowned, London-based international finance and business magazine WORLD FINANCE. Firms that attracted particular attention over the past year through increased market shares, strong management and positive economic development, as well as the achievement of substantial strategic goals in the decorated sectors, were considered for the awards.

This “Best Tax Team in Germany 2008" award is especially outstanding for RP RICHTER & PARTNER because it has been awarded to independent, medium-sized firms such as this firm in only a few countries. In contrast, the prize has been awarded in all major industrial nations and only to the big, multi-national (Big Four) accounting firms or international law firms.

Wolfgang Richter, founder and managing partner of RP RICHTER & PARTNER, commented on this particular distinction: “We are happy about this international recognition of our continuously superb work in the sector of tax consultancy and feel confirmed in our consultancy approach which strongly orientates towards our clients’ benefits.”

RP RICHTER & PARTNER is one of the leading German firms with 37 tax advisors, seven auditors and 28 attorneys-at-law located in Munich. In total, the firm, which was only founded in October 2001, already employees about 150 people. With a growth of 35% in 2007 and growth again in the first quarter of 2008, the firm consistently pursues its success story. RP RICHTER & PARTNER is represented in every economic center all over the world by JHI.
