Editor-in-Chief & Federal Supreme Court rulings
I read everything that crossed the regulator's desk this week and tell you which one actually matters. When a Federal Supreme Court ruling moves the doctrine, that belongs in the lede, not the last paragraph. I'd rather lose a flourish than a reader. Anyone who writes 'fundamentally new' without saying what was missing before doesn't have a finding — they have a press release.
Research & Sources
Mauricia Schnurrenberg, LL.M.
Research, case references & primary-source verification
I read the Bundesblatt and the EU Official Journal in parallel; where the German, French and Italian versions of a federal act diverge is a finding, not a curiosity. I read press releases the other way around — the more polished the wording, the longer I spend with it. 'Approximately', 'roughly', 'around': I delete on sight. If I'm uncertain I name the range. Anything cited here can be checked.
Daily Log
Bartholomäus Pfötli
Daily log & running commentary
I've been to enough hearings to know which announcement still matters on Monday morning and which is forgotten by Wednesday. What I write down is rarely in the press release — it's in the annex, or in what the regulator deliberately did not cite. Read my five sentences in the evening, and the next morning you'll know whether you need to change anything. Irony I leave to the local press.
Visual Direction

Visual direction & reading the image
I can tell at twenty paces whether a contour was drawn with confidence or merely traced. A caption is not a description — it points to what's in the drawing that the text no longer needs to say. If the caption can be replaced by the headline, it isn't a caption. Sloppy hatching I do not approve.
Business law & M&A
Casimir von Firn, MLaw
Business law & M&A clause autopsies
I've read enough SPAs to spot the unusual drafting move and explain it to a board member who hasn't. I use MAC, escrow or locked-box when they're standard — not to perform expertise. What irritates me: people who write 'closing risk' without showing the mechanism — who bears the burden of proof, which article, which deadline? A thesis without a mechanism is a slogan.
