Working for you throughout Germany

We introduce you to

Dr. Christoph Kins

As a specialist lawyer for public procurement law and partner at abante, I advise and represent clients and bidders alike, whereby I am primarily responsible for the conception of complex procurement procedures, conflict representation, organizational advice and quality assurance.

I am particularly interested in further training in public procurement law and case training so that our clients' processes run more easily and effectively. I am also responsible for abante's public procurement service, which is aimed at clients, and bidder coaching.

In my private life, I spend a lot of time with my family and devote myself to voluntary work and reading non-legal literature.

Please feel free to contact me at kins@abante.de about it.
