Public procurement law & tenders

Fieldfisher advises on all issues arising in connection with public tenders. We support our clients in all phases of a public tender. Our focus is on providing comprehensive support to companies wishing to bid for a public contract. Our public procurement team can draw on extensive experience in connection with national and EU-wide tenders and use this knowledge to achieve the best possible results for our clients.

Why choose our public procurement law & tender lawyers?

We speak and understand the language of both the companies participating in tenders and the tendering authorities. Our public procurement team is composed of lawyers who have many years of in-house experience from managing public procurement departments and know applicants and participants from over 10 years of intensive public procurement law practice.

This expertise enables us to advise our clients effectively and practically in a targeted manner. Our advisory practice covers all procurement matters. We also benefit from the expertise of our lawyers from other sectors in order to provide comprehensive, cross-jurisdictional advice from a single hand.

We represent our clients in review proceedings before the public procurement tribunals and the public procurement senates of the higher regional courts.
