Public Procurement Law: Your plans, our solutions

We provide comprehensive advice to both contracting authorities and tendering companies on all issues related to public procurement law. We offer practical, legally watertight solutions from public tenders to drafting contracts and representing you at procurement review proceedings.

Who must observe public procurement law?

Public procurement law no longer solely relates to traditional procurement at federal, state and municipality level. EU Directives and the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union have significantly extended the area of application of public procurement law. Private companies can also be subject to public procurement law if they receive public funding or carry out tasks in the interest of the general public.

Our experienced public procurement law team provides advice to contracting authorities and public contractors alike. We develop tailored solutions for all challenges in public procurement law and help you minimise risk. Our particular areas of expertise include the allocation of concessions, building construction, IT procurement and sector procurement.
