Suc­cess­ful place­ment in the “Firms to Watch” cat­e­go­ry and Hall of Fame award

Leipzig, Feb­ru­ary 12, 2026. abante, the nation­al pub­lic pro­cure­ment law firm, is among the “Firms to Watch” in pub­lic pro­cure­ment law for the first time in the cur­rent Legal 500 Ger­many rank­ing. In addi­tion, Prof. Dr. Marc Gabriel, Man­ag­ing Direc­tor of abante, is includ­ed in the “Hall of Fame” of pub­lic pro­cure­ment law in the indi­vid­ual rank­ing in the area of pub­lic law.

With its inclu­sion in the “Firms to Watch” cat­e­go­ry, Legal 500 rec­og­nizes law firms that are char­ac­ter­ized by par­tic­u­lar­ly dynam­ic devel­op­ment, a high lev­el of pro­fes­sion­al spe­cial­iza­tion and a grow­ing mar­ket pres­ence. The rank­ing con­firms the con­sis­tent growth course of recent months as well as the nation­al­ly rec­og­nized exper­tise of abante, a spe­cial­ist law firm focus­ing on pub­lic pro­cure­ment law.

The addi­tion­al per­son­al dis­tinc­tion of Prof. Dr. Marc Gabriel in the “Hall of Fame” high­lights his long­stand­ing out­stand­ing posi­tion in pub­lic pro­cure­ment law. The “Hall of Fame” lists per­son­al­i­ties who have sig­nif­i­cant­ly shaped the legal field over many years and have received last­ing excel­lent recog­ni­tion in the mar­ket.

The Legal 500 Ger­many rank­ing is one of the lead­ing inter­na­tion­al law firm direc­to­ries. It is based on an annu­al, inde­pen­dent mar­ket research that includes exten­sive law firm sur­veys as well as feed­back from clients and com­peti­tors. In par­tic­u­lar, the pro­fes­sion­al qual­i­ty, degree of spe­cial­iza­tion, mar­ket posi­tion and rep­u­ta­tion of the law firms as well as the indi­vid­ual exper­tise of indi­vid­ual lawyers are eval­u­at­ed.

“This dou­ble award is a very pleas­ing con­fir­ma­tion of our uncom­pro­mis­ing spe­cial­iza­tion in pub­lic pro­cure­ment law and our con­tin­u­ous growth,” com­ments Prof. Dr. Marc Gabriel, Man­ag­ing Direc­tor of abante. “Inclu­sion in the Firms to Watch cat­e­go­ry stands equal­ly for the qual­i­ty of our legal work and the strong mar­ket posi­tion we have estab­lished in recent years.”

With its cur­rent rank­ing in the Legal 500 Ger­many, abante con­tin­ues its series of high-rank­ing awards and under­lines its claim to be one of the lead­ing spe­cial­ized law firms for pub­lic pro­cure­ment law in Ger­many.
