WIRTSCHAFTSRAT Recht

What WIRTSCHAFTSRAT Recht does

WIRTSCHAFTSRAT RECHT Bremer Woitag Rechtsanwaltsgesellschaft mbH is a Hamburg-based German boutique law firm founded by Dr. Henrik Bremer and operating as a privately held Rechtsanwaltsgesellschaft mbH. The firm advises private and public companies across practice areas tightly clustered around regulated infrastructure and corporate transactions: public procurement (Vergaberecht), energy industry law (Energiewirtschaftsrecht), telecommunications law (Telekommunikationsrecht), corporate law and M&A, business succession (Unternehmensnachfolge), and tax law (Steuerrecht), with additional strategic consulting, auditing, and commercial mediation capabilities delivered through interdisciplinary teams.

The client base is heavily skewed to German municipal utilities (Stadtwerke), municipalities and counties, telecommunications providers and network operators, energy companies, and public transportation operators, supplemented by corporate clients requiring compliance and supervisory-board training. Distribution is exclusively direct — no resellers or channel intermediaries — and is concentrated through industry conferences (BREKO fiberdays, VKU Finanzierungskonferenz, dibkom Glasfasertage, Connected Germany, Wärmewende 2026), thought-leadership content (blog articles and downloadable presentations on fiber, energy transition, and municipal finance), and a recurring catalogue of paid seminars delivered in cooperation with Campus für Energie und Wirtschaft and dibkom GmbH on topics including broadband expansion, data protection/IT security, supervisory-board training, anti-money laundering (GwG), VOB, and HOAI.

Revenue is generated from two streams: standard professional-services billing (hourly/quote-based and retainers) for legal advisory, and unit-priced seminar fees (350 EUR per 3.5-hour module per attendee, net or VAT-exempt) for the training catalogue. The firm has no proprietary technology products, no disclosed external funding, and no external ownership beyond its three managing shareholders, with a stated professional team of approximately 10-15 across managing partners Dr. Henrik Bremer, Gerrit Woitag LL.M., Gerhard Schwark, and attorneys Isabel Auf der Horst, Kirsten Thiele, Nele Schön, Christoph Bauer LL.M., and consultant Tim Siemer.
