Did you know that without the Hungarian mathematician John von Neumann (Neumann János) you would probably not have a modern computer today?  His insights into the organization of machines led to the infrastructure which is now known as the "von Neumann Architecture". He was distinct in a way that he quickly perceived the application of computers to applied mathematics for specific problems, rather than their mere application to the development of tables. His approach to apply his scientific results to real-world phenomena especially culminated in his book Theory of Games and Economic Behavior, written together with Oskar Morgenstern and published in 1944 which is widely considered the path-breaking text that created the interdisciplinary research field of game theory. 

John von Neumann's theory on parlor games is now a classic work, upon which modern-day game theory is based. Game theory has since been widely used to analyze real-world phenomena from arms races to optimal policy choices of political candidates, from vaccination policy to major salary negotiations. It is today established, both throughout the social sciences and in a wide range of other sciences.

Aspiring to the approach of this famous scientist of Hungarian origin Oppenheim® lawyers are strongly committed to the principle that legal know-how and sophistication must be used in order to solve real-world problems and to facilitate agreements between parties in negotiations over transactions. Over the past decades the Oppenheim® transaction team has gained insight into a variety of sectors, businesses and organizations that helped them gain the ability to rapidly see through problems to their solutions. Finding the right solution demands capability to team up with other professionals and the recognition that in a negotiation process various players interact with the client and it is the lawyer's task to help the client to optimize his position and to take informed decisions. In the end, we make legal problems simple and transparent.
