Where these came from

These English-speaking lawyers come from 13 sources, led by the Rechtsanwaltskammer Düsseldorf, the statutory bar of the Düsseldorf district (2442), the Rechtsanwaltskammer Freiburg, the statutory bar of the Freiburg district (382) and the UK Foreign Office's Find a professional service abroad (86).

3155 of the 3157 sit on an official list; the rest rest on the provider saying so or on a directory listing, and each card says which.

Questions

How many English-speaking lawyers are there in Germany?
We list 3157, in 19 cities. That is the number whose working language we can trace to a published source, not the number that exists.
Which city has the most?
Düsseldorf, with 2449 of the 3157.
Is English unusual for lawyers in Germany?
92% of the 3432 lawyers we hold in Germany are recorded as working in English. Most of them come from the Rechtsanwaltskammer Düsseldorf, the statutory bar of the Düsseldorf district, a register that records the languages each provider offers, so the figure reflects who that register covers, not only who speaks what.
