Frankfurt/Munich, 24 September 2021 - BEITEN BURKHARDT (ADVANT Beiten since 15 September 2021) came first in the "Legal Tech" category at the prestigious PMN Awards in Frankfurt yesterday evening with its legal tech application "BBGO - Your Expat Manager". BBGO supports HR departments in posting employees abroad. The application was launched in 2020. You can find out more about BBGO at www.bb-go.de.

"Congratulations to our interdisciplinary team around the trio in charge - Michaela Felisiak, Martina Schlamp and Markus Schulz - on this great success! Being nominated was already a great recognition, and having won the award fills us with pride and joy", says Philipp Cotta, Managing Partner of the law firm ADVANT Beiten.

The PMN Management Awards have honoured innovations in management and business services by commercial law firms and multidisciplinary law firms from Germany, Austria and Switzerland since 2009. There are Awards in seven categories. In addition to domain categories such as Communications, Legal Tech, Human Resources and Business Development, young, unusual law firm start-ups are honoured in the Newcomers category. An experienced and independent jury discusses all entries and selects the winners.

The laudatio at the award ceremony commented: "For companies, it is a bureaucratic nuisance: the A1 certificate. Since 2019, it has to be issued to employees when they travel to another EU country on business. It gets even more complicated when your own people travel or are posted for longer periods. Many HR departments are taking stabs in the dark - quick, expert and cost-effective advice is needed.This is where Beiten Burkhardt comes in with its digital tool "BBGO" to help companies with postings abroad in a clear and legally secure manner. (...) BBGO helps create templates. They offer HR departments (...) security for postings abroad. For the HR manager, the formerly complex task becomes a matter of a mouse click."
