Overview

Legal assurance in the face of public authority

Public procurement and administrative acts are subject to strict procedural rules and short deadlines. A procedural error made in a tender, or the failure to object to an administrative act in time, can lead to serious losses of rights and business.

From participation in the tender process to complaint and appeal-on-complaint applications, from annulment actions against administrative sanctions and acts to full remedy actions, we conduct your relations with the public under legal assurance.

We follow processes meticulously and manage both procedure and the merits robustly in tender and administrative disputes.

Team in This Area

With our multilingual team of lawyers, well-versed in Turkish and German law, we are by your side.

First a complaint is filed with the contracting authority that held the tender, and then an appeal by way of objection is lodged with the Public Procurement Authority; the statutory time limits for these applications are very short, and missing them leads to the loss of your rights. We rapidly identify any unlawfulness in the tender process and pursue the objection process on time and on the correct grounds.

Yes. A full remedy (compensation) action can be filed for the losses you have suffered due to the administration's unlawful acts or actions. The causal link between the loss and the administrative act, and the scope of the loss, are decisive. We assess your matter and carry out the process necessary to obtain compensation for the loss you have suffered.

As a rule, an action for annulment against administrative acts must be filed within a short peremptory time limit running from the date the act is served. If this time limit is missed, the right to sue lapses even if the act is unlawful. We assess the act without losing time and initiate the litigation process while managing the time-limit risk.

Yes. Decisions to exclude a bidder from a tender and debarment decisions can be made the subject of an objection and an action for annulment if they are contrary to law or procedure. Because debarment directly affects your commercial activity, speed is critical. We review the decision and strategically assess both the administrative objection and the judicial route.

Matters such as progress payments, extensions of time, price adjustments and termination are frequent areas of dispute in public procurement contracts and are subject to special legislation. We analyse the contract and the performance process; we protect your rights through resolution with the administration or, if necessary, through litigation, and ensure that the work continues.
