The Federal Republic of Germany, the German states and the municipalities are important economic actors. Whether they use their own businesses and investment companies to operate the railway system, airports, motorways, casinos, hospitals, public utilities and housing associations or act as a contracting authority to procure broadband cabling or military equipment or other services and assets for road structures, university, school and hospital buildings or power plants: the public sector accounts, directly or indirectly, for a large part of the economic output.

There are many particularities that need to be taken into consideration in connection with the economic activities of the public sector. Budget regulations and municipal codes contain numerous restrictions, to give just one example. If the public procurement system is not scrupulously adhered to in procurement processes, this can cause significant delays, which may result in measures becoming more expensive or being even discontinued.

Luther has for many years successfully advised the public sector on all its business activities. With a team of more than twenty public business and public procurement law experts, we are one of the leading law firms in Germany in this field of law. In addition, we have special expertise in the financing and restructuring of university clinics and hospitals and in casino, gambling and lottery law.
