Flick Gocke Schaumburg is a 500+ person tax and legal partnership operating across eight German and Swiss cities, built around multidisciplinary teams that combine lawyers, tax advisors, and auditors. The tech stack reveals a firm mid-modernization: they run DATEV (German legal practice standard), SAP FI/S4HANA, and iManage for case management, with RPA in use but hiring velocity decelerating. Active projects span M&A tax due diligence, cross-border corporate taxation, and restructuring — suggesting a client base weighted toward complex transactions — while pain-point data signals acute pressure on back-office operations and process automation, compounded by talent scarcity in support roles.
