“His face is familiar to all who watch the Tagesschau news program halfway regularly. Whenever a crook has swindled investors or a stock corporation has embarked on dubious business dealings, the Frankfurt attorney Klaus Nieding will admonish or criticize, and many microphones are there to record what he’s got to say.” (Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, December 1st, 2006)

“The attorney Klaus Nieding is one of the major players in Germany where it comes to protecting stockholders. That is his specialty. He represents the Deutsche Schutzvereinigung für Wertpapierbesitz e.V., an association for the protection of securities investors) and is used to taking the floor at the annual general meetings of large German stock corporations. The times when these meetings ridiculed the people protecting investors’ rights are long over. Nieding is taken seriously. In particular since everyone knows that the attorney is able to enforce his clients’ rights before the courts, and will not hesitate to do so wherever necessary.” (Luxemburger Tageblatt, December 2007)

"Among those protecting investors’ rights, the attorney Klaus Nieding enjoys a high-profile.” (Börse Online, issue 10, February 28th, 2008)
