Lead­ing pub­lic pro­cure­ment law firm abante receives mul­ti­ple awards from WirtschaftsWoche

Dr. Christoph Kins, Ron­ny Lohmann and Dr. Ste­fan Schmidt hon­ored as TOP lawyers

Leipzig, August 5, 2025. abante Recht­san­wälte, a nation­al pub­lic pro­cure­ment law firm, has been select­ed for the first time with three lawyers in WirtschaftsWoche’s cur­rent rank­ing of the most renowned lawyers for pub­lic pro­cure­ment law. This mul­ti­ple award, which is rare in law firm and lawyer rank­ings, impres­sive­ly under­lines aban­te’s strong mar­ket per­cep­tion as well as its recent growth and high degree of spe­cial­iza­tion.

abante Recht­san­wälte, a law firm spe­cial­iz­ing in pub­lic pro­cure­ment law with offices in Berlin, Leipzig, Magde­burg, Munich and Naum­burg, has once again been includ­ed in the TOP cat­e­go­ry of the most renowned lawyers for pub­lic pro­cure­ment law by the lead­ing Ger­man busi­ness mag­a­zine WirtschaftsWoche. This award, which is high­ly regard­ed by experts and the pub­lic, has been announced annu­al­ly in the sum­mer for over ten 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 and a jury of experts. The well-known abante pub­lic pro­cure­ment lawyers Dr. Christoph Kins and Ron­ny Lohmann were able to main­tain their posi­tion in this rank­ing, which they achieved last year, thanks to their legal work for well-known large pub­lic clients and their mar­ket pen­e­tra­tion with inno­v­a­tive pro­cure­ment prod­ucts, and were once again rec­og­nized. For the first time this year, the long-stand­ing abante lawyer Dr. Ste­fan Schmidt was also select­ed as one of the TOP lawyers for pub­lic pro­cure­ment law. He has made a name for him­self by advis­ing on a num­ber of promi­nent infra­struc­ture projects as well as his par­tic­u­lar exper­tise in com­plex pro­cure­ment projects in the field of infor­ma­tion tech­nol­o­gy.

“This is a high­ly grat­i­fy­ing and well-deserved devel­op­ment,” says Berlin part­ner and head of abante Prof. Dr. Marc Gabriel, com­ment­ing on the cur­rent rank­ing from the man­age­men­t’s per­spec­tive: “This renewed recog­ni­tion of our high­ly focused focus on pub­lic pro­cure­ment law con­firms our claim to be the lead­ing spe­cial­ist law firm for pub­lic pro­cure­ment law in Ger­many. Fol­low­ing the awards from the Ger­man Pub­lic Pro­cure­ment Net­work in 2023 and 2024, the pre­vi­ous award as TOP law firm for pub­lic pro­cure­ment law from WirtschaftsWoche last year and the Han­dels­blatt award received just a few months ago in the rank­ing of Ger­many’s best lawyers for pub­lic com­mer­cial law includ­ing pub­lic pro­cure­ment, this lat­est triple in WirtschaftsWoche is an incen­tive to con­sis­tent­ly con­tin­ue the growth course we have recent­ly embarked on. Look­ing at aban­te’s promis­ing mid-lev­el lawyers, in which we are for­tu­nate to have some very expe­ri­enced and mar­ket-renowned can­di­dates for future man­age­ment posi­tions in our firm, we are extreme­ly con­fi­dent in this respect.”
