WiWo ranking: HEUKING again a top law firm in public procurement law – and recognized for energy law for the first time
WirtschaftsWoche once again recognized HEUKING as one of Germany’s leading law firms in the field of public procurement law. For the first time, the firm has also been honored in the area of energy law. In the public procurement law category, Dr. Ute Jasper, Dr. Martin Schellenberg, and Dr. Laurence Westen are highlighted. In energy law, WirtschaftsWoche recognizes Marc Baltus and Dr. Tobias Woltering.
The ranking was compiled by Handelsblatt Research Institute (HRI), which surveyed more than 2,300 lawyers across 180 law firms for their most respected peers in public procurement law, environmental and construction planning law, and energy law. Based on the responses, a panel of experts selected 49 law firms and 63 lawyers in public procurement law, and 24 law firms and 31 lawyers in energy law for inclusion in the final list.
HEUKING’s “Public Sector & Public Procurement” department has been a recognized market leader in public procurement law for many years. Its lawyers consistently hold top spots in German and international lawyer rankings.
