Addleshaw Goddard has again been recognised by German business magazine WirtschaftsWoche as a top law firm for procurement law. In addition, partner Dr Jan-Oliver Schrotz once again ranks among the "Top Lawyers" in Germany.

Jan-Oliver Schrotz specialises in regulatory issues, particularly in the public sector and regulated industries. He supports public contracting authorities in complex procurement projects and advises bidders on all public procurement law issues as well as in review of public procurement procedures. His expertise also covers general EU law, administrative, budgetary, and constitutional law, as well as public sector related IT law. He has many years of industry experience primarily in the areas of transport and passenger transport, IT, health, and waste management. His extensive experience covers both strategic and structural consulting as well as – in case of disputes – the representation of his clients' interests before courts and administrative bodies.

The selection of top law firms and top lawyers was based on a comprehensive survey conducted by the Handelsblatt Research Institute, in which over 2,200 lawyers from 179 law firms nominated their most renowned colleagues in procurement law, environmental and construction planning law and energy law.

An expert jury from well-known companies and trade press, including Deutsche Bahn, Netinera and C.H. Beck, then selected 44 law firms with 64 highly recommended lawyers in the area of procurement law. The full results can be found here.

Recently, Addleshaw Goddard was recognised as a top law firm for M&A, compliance and dispute resolution and partners Eckart Budelmann, Dr Hubertus Schröder, Jörg Bielefeld, Alexander Schmid, Dr Felix Dörfelt and Dr Markus Perkams were included in WirtschaftsWoche's top lawyers’ lists.
