Fasten your seatbelts—no staircase is too steep for us with trustberg
As we journey through the vast expanse of the comms cosmos, the Space Dogs are always on the lookout for new adventures and opportunities to explore uncharted galaxies. Along the way, we often come across other space travelers who are looking for guidance as they navigate to new planets. On our latest mission, we were fortunate enough to encounter a truly special spaceship. We are pleased to introduce you to our new client, trustberg!
Relations have to be built on trust
Come with us on a tour of the trustberg spaceship and let's explore it together! trustberg, founded in 2016 by Prof. Dr. Clemens Engelhardt and Dr. Christopher Hahn, is a business law firm that provides legal advice to a range of clients, including publicly listed companies, small and medium-sized enterprises, and high-net-worth-individuals. Trustberg excels in areas such as company building, venture capital financing, mergers & acquisitions (M&A) transactions, and labor law, with offices located in Berlin, Munich, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Milan, and Prague. But what sets trustberg apart and makes them truly special? Let's find out!
Partnership with a business law firm
As you walk onto the trustberg spaceship, you may have noticed a striking image of the firm's founders seated in a car and driving over a set of steps. This image is not just meant to be visually striking, but also carries a deeper symbolic meaning. Despite the many changes and advancements in the legal industry, the structure of law firms has remained largely unchanged over the past decades, with a hierarchical pyramid scheme that has historically been dominated by men. Climbing the career ladder is often very difficult and requires a lot of time and effort, especially when you aren’t a man. In fact, recent surveys show that only about 16% of women in law firms are partners, despite the fact that more than half of all law graduates are female. trustberg is committed to breaking down traditional career barriers, driving away from the status quo—offering all lawyers a fair shot at partnership, regardless of their position or background. What counts here are the lawyers' skills and ambitions.
Maybe our spaceships are not that different from each other
trustberg’s wants to be a modern law firm with a flat hierarchy that gives every lawyer a fair opportunity to advance to partnership, while still maintaining a high level of professional expertise. trustberg is a pioneer in the legal industry for its forward-thinking approach to modernizing law firm structures, which aims to balance private life and career advancement opportunities. On closer examination, we can see that the structures of law firms are not so different from those of agencies like ours. Both types of organizations have a junior/senior hierarchy and bill clients on an hourly basis. However, where trustberg and Laika really align is in our shared values of professionalism and a commitment to innovation and excellence in our respective fields.
Our journey together begins in 3... 2... 1…
Since December 2022, the Laika crew has been working closely with trustberg as we journey through the comms cosmos. Our goal is to position trustberg as a modern, innovative law firm, and increase their media attention and visibility. To achieve this, we will be supporting trustberg with consulting in PR strategy, corporate communications, media relations, content development, and speaker placements. Trust is an essential component of any successful relationship, and this is especially true for trustberg and Laika as we embark on this journey together. We are excited to see where the future takes us and to continue building on the foundation of trust that we have already established.
