About
Provided by Baker McKenzie
Our public law practice in Berlin, Düsseldorf and Frankfurt is one of the leading practices in the field of general and special administrative law, in particular environmental and planning law, public construction and waste law as well as constitutional law.
Our broad positioning is also reflected in a wide range of classic public law mandates, including waste law, plant and product-related environmental law and regulatory issues in connection with energy law transactions.
Clients expressly appreciate our strengths in public law advice on cross-border matters, particularly with regard to the increasingly complex supply chains of global corporations. Advising companies that conduct their business activities via the internet is becoming increasingly important. We have been able to establish ourselves as the preferred contact in the field of public law for some market leaders. We have been able to achieve this in particular because we continuously maintain cooperation with our foreign offices so that our internationally active clients can obtain smooth and efficient international advice from a single source.
In product-related environmental law, we are an established address with globally recognized expertise on all regulatory issues in the supply chain.
