- Handelsblatt/Legal Success/Best Lawyers of June 1, 2011. Dr. Alexander Kröck one of 32 recommended leading commercial lawyers nationwide in the area of litigation (also in 2009 and in 2010).
- JUVE German Commercial Law Firms 2009: "A recommended law firm for litigation and arbitration which covers a multitude of capital markets aspects thanks to its multidisciplinary setup. Of all of the smaller litigation practices in Munich, Kantenwein has shown the most dynamic development over the past two years. This is unmistakeably shaped by the work of Kröck, who acquires major clients such as the litigation for Hypo Real Estate thanks to his outstanding connections and has also carved out a good reputation in the market across Germany. The practice offers a broad palette of post-M&A-arbitration, prospectus and professional liability and defence against legal challenges. (...) Recommended Lawyers: Dr. Alexander Kröck ('very well-founded and creative approaches', 'intellectual potential, profound litigation sensibility', clients; 'works quickly and reliably', competitor). (...)."
- JUVE-Awards 2008: Firm nominated for Firm of The Year for Dispute Resolution
- JUVE German Commercial Law Firms 2010: "(...) KZFK hast carved out an exceptional reputation in Munich for litigious disputes and arbitration, especially when it comes to representation in the higher instances; the partners boast excellent contacts here. Clients praise their 'ability to have a mediating effect and present complicated facts in a comprehensible way.' (...) Starting from the firm's multidisciplinary approach, Kröck has formed a unit boasting an unusually high number of foreign clients. Last year's premium instruction for HRE has thrust KZFK into the limelight and paved the way for crisis-related work for a range of new clients. (...) Nonetheless, KZFK's rise in profile in connection with the bank crisis across Germany makes it an interesting choice for companies as well as investors. (...)"
- JUVE German Commercial Law Firms 2011: "(...) KZFK has also boosted its highly regarded litigation practice and can increase activity in banking litigation and arbitration. (...) Recommended Lawyers: (...) Dr. Alexander Kröck ('has become even more visible in litigation', competitor), (...) A respected firm for litigation and arbitration which, despite its regional roots and multidisciplinary background, has surprised the market with a great deal of international work. Here, the practice benefits from Kröck's good contacts to law firms and the industrial sector in North and South America. The outfit has thus been able to position itself effectively on the side of foreign buyers and investors in post-M&A-cases. With a broader team of mid-ranking lawyers (...) the firm will be able to deploy more clout in banking and capital markets litigation in the future. (...) Recommended lawyers: Dr. Alexander Kröck ('outstanding litigator with a wealth of experience', 'well-structured way of working and diligent', competitors)."
