We offer advice on all aspects of procurement law. We also regularly give in-house courses and workshops to our clients about current developments in legislation and case law.
"We advise and support our clients throughout the process: from choosing the right strategy for a tender to choosing the procedure, and all additional issues"
Deeply specialist knowledge
We support our clients from various practice groups. This allows us to enrich our knowledge of procurement law with specialist knowledge of the sectors in which the tenders take place. We regularly assist clients in the construction sector, the insurance market, the ICT sector, the public sector, the health care sector, and public transport.
Advice on the full tender
Our advice to clients in tenders often goes beyond the boundaries of procurement law. We advise and support our clients throughout the process: from choosing the right strategy for a tender to choosing the procedure, and all additional issues.
Advice concerning disputes
When contracts are put out to tender, large financial interests are at stake and speed is of the essence. Our team advises and litigates on a regular basis for clients, often in preliminary relief proceedings.
