Since 2010, FOM graduates who have written an outstanding thesis in the field of law have been awarded annually. Since 2015, the prize for bachelor's and master's theses with a corporate law theme has been awarded by the THORWART-JESKA-STIFTUNG in cooperation with THORWART Lawyers Tax Consultants Auditors Partnership.

"The Academic Award for Corporate Law is intended not only to inspire students, but also to reward them for special achievements," emphasizes Prof. Dr. Seeling, Professor of Business Law at the FOM University of Applied Sciences and lawyer at THORWART.
