abante Recht­san­wälte in the Han­dels­blatt rank­ing “Ger­many’s best law firms 2025”

Largest Ger­man law firm spe­cial­iz­ing in pub­lic pro­cure­ment law has again been hon­ored

Leipzig, Sep­tem­ber 25, 2025. abante, the nation­al pub­lic pro­cure­ment law firm, has been rec­og­nized in the cur­rent Han­dels­blatt rank­ing “Ger­many’s Best Law Firms 2025”, mak­ing it one of the lead­ing law firms in Ger­many in this com­par­i­son as well.

Han­dels­blatt has pub­lished the rank­ing “Ger­many’s Best Law Firms 2025” in coop­er­a­tion with the US spe­cial­ist pub­lish­er Best Lawyers. This Han­dels­blatt award, which is high­ly regard­ed in pro­fes­sion­al cir­cles and by the pub­lic, has been pub­lished annu­al­ly for over 40 years and is the result of an exten­sive Ger­many-wide sur­vey in which law firms and lawyers are assessed on the basis of rec­om­men­da­tions from oth­er lawyers. The result is a com­pre­hen­sive overview of the best law firms in Ger­many and is regard­ed as a rec­og­nized mar­ket study in the legal sec­tor.

“We are delight­ed with this well-deserved award and see it as fur­ther recog­ni­tion of our uncom­pro­mis­ing focus and spe­cial­iza­tion in pub­lic pro­cure­ment law. The fact that we were able to main­tain our posi­tion among the best law firms in Ger­many is an impor­tant sig­nal for our clients and at the same time an incen­tive for our future work,” com­ment­ed abante Man­ag­ing Direc­tor Prof. Dr. Marc Gabriel on the award.

The cur­rent rank­ing in this Ger­many-wide com­par­i­son proves that abante is active­ly involved nation­wide in the field of pub­lic pro­cure­ment law. The com­mit­ment and pres­ence of law firm rep­re­sen­ta­tives at renowned spe­cial­ist events also tes­ti­fy to this exper­tise. For exam­ple, abante was an active spon­sor at the 23rd forum ver­gabe Gespräche in Ful­da, par­tic­i­pat­ed in a pan­el dis­cus­sion at the EVB-IT theme day of the Ger­man Pro­cure­ment Net­work, gave a lec­ture on the planned Fed­er­al Act on the Fideli­ty of Pub­lic Pro­cure­ment in the “Pub­lic Clients” work­ing group of the BME Berlin/Brandenburg and pro­vid­ed sev­er­al speak­ers for the 13th Cologne Pro­cure­ment Days. These activ­i­ties under­line aban­te’s role as a broad-based, net­worked and prac­tice-ori­ent­ed law firm in the field of pub­lic pro­cure­ment law.

With the Han­dels­blatt award, abante con­tin­ues a series of recent suc­cess­es: abante has already been list­ed sev­er­al times by WirtschaftsWoche as a TOP law firm in pub­lic pro­cure­ment law. In addi­tion, the law firm received awards from the Ger­man Pub­lic Pro­cure­ment Net­work in 2023 and 2024 as well as a Han­dels­blatt award in the rank­ing “Ger­many’s best lawyers for pub­lic com­mer­cial law includ­ing pub­lic pro­cure­ment”.
