OUR EXPERIENCE

Since the regulations for public procurement came into force at the beginning of the 2000s, the Mageli law firm has worked extensively with public procurement both for the classical sector and the supply sector.
 
We have extensive experience in assisting both the procurement and supply side with a number of different issues within the regulations for public procurement.  
 

OUR LAWYERS PROVIDE ASSISTANCE AT ALL STAGES OF PUBLIC PROCUREMENT

The public procurement regulations are very dynamic and are constantly evolving - especially through KOFA decisions and through EU policies. We keep abreast of this development and hold regular courses and lectures for our clients regarding the legal developments within public procurement.
 
Our lawyers work daily on issues related to the regulations for public procurement and have ready knowledge about a number of issues that typically arise in a procurement process. We therefore often act as a sparring partner for our clients in connection with the implementation of public procurement.
 
Through our long-standing assistance we have developed a special understanding of the many and often complicated issues that arise in the application of the regulations for public procurement. This enables us to meet the client's needs in a cost-effective manner without compromising on the legal assessments underlying our advice.
