Public procurement law regulates the interface between the public and the private sector.

We provide a comprehensive range of advice across the entire spectrum of public procurement law. We support and accompany both public contracting authorities (awarding bodies) in the design and implementation of award procedures and companies (applicants/bidders) in the competition for public contracts and their participation in award procedures. We are familiar with the practice on both sides. This allows us to guarantee precise, forward-looking and solution-focussed support at all times.

For our clients, we use all the structuring options available in public procurement law to achieve pinpoint, pragmatic and economical solutions. The permanent aim of our advice is to identify and eliminate potential conflicts early on in order to avoid time-consuming and costly disputes from the outset.

If it proves necessary nevertheless, we also represent our clients in review proceedings before public procurement chambers and senates, as well as in all official and judicial proceedings relating to public procurement law (interim relief, damages, national and European appeal proceedings, access to files, etc.).
