Legal Consulting — Public Tenders
Legal consulting is an important procurement area for the public sector. Ministries, authorities, and public-sector companies engage law firms and legal advisors for opinions, contract drafting, litigation, and regulatory advice. The scope ranges from procurement law support through public law to international law and European law.

- Procurement law support for a major project
- Expert opinion on questions of European law
- Litigation before the Public Procurement Tribunal (Vergabekammer) and higher regional courts

Challenges in finding tenders
Legal consulting is awarded under varying labels: "legal advice", "legal support", "legal opinion", "mandate award", "law firm services", or "legal advisory". The relevant specialisation (procurement law, environmental law, employment law) is often only apparent from the tender documents.
Many legal-advisory mandates are also awarded as freelance services under § 73 VgV, which constitutes a separate procurement regime with different thresholds and procedural rules.
