Public procurement

Public procurement law is a dynamic and demanding field of law. The public sector, its equity holdings and contractual partners regularly face very special economic and political challenges when they engage in projects. We help them master these challenges.

Our lawyers combine many years of practical experience with sound scientific knowledge from their work as lecturers, teachers and authors of specialist articles. Our services are pragmatic and efficient. Our work is interdisciplinary. This concerns for example:

• German grants and European state aid
• Public budget
• Pricing (VO PR 30/53)
• Data protection
• Public contracts

Our areas of focus:

We advise and represent clients in connection with public procurement procedures, competitive procedures and matters relevant to public procurement law. Our activities cover a wide range of industries and issues:

• Support in structuring and conducting award procedures and competitions of any size (conception, preparation of documents and drafts, question‑​answer catalogues, evaluation of offers and requests to participate)
• (Partial) privatisation of public enterprises
