BBG und Partner Rechtsanwälte

What BBG und Partner Rechtsanwälte does

BBG und Partner Rechtsanwälte is a specialized German law firm (Partnerschaftsgesellschaft mbB) headquartered in Bremen, founded in 1996, that positions itself as "Die Infrastrukturkanzlei" — the infrastructure law firm. The firm advises federal ministries, federal states, counties, municipalities, and their associations, as well as municipal and private companies in the transport and energy sectors, on complex infrastructure mandates across ten practice areas: Infrastructure Law, Mobility Law, Environmental and Planning Law, Public Procurement, Real Estate and Construction Law, Railway Law, Energy Law, Concession Contracts, State Aid/Public Financing, and Local Rail Passenger Transport (SPNV). Its core offering is regulatory judgment and representation, not technology products; the technology stack is limited to standard legal/admin tooling (IONOS hosting, Microsoft Teams, Matomo analytics, CleverReach newsletter, Usercentrics consent management), and the firm leverages no proprietary software or AI/ML capabilities.

The firm's go-to-market is enterprise-field-sales style relationship advisory: long engagement cycles anchored by repeat mandates from public authorities and infrastructure operators, with reputational reinforcement through JUVE and THE LEGAL 500 directory rankings. Revenue is generated through professional legal advisory services, billed under the German Rechtsanwaltsvergütungsgesetz (RVG) statutory fee regime or on individually negotiated fixed-fee bases. Notable disclosed mandates include advising Bayerische Eisenbahngesellschaft (BEG) and Rhein-Main-Verkehrsverbund (RMV) on the Regionalverkehr Mainfranken SPNV tender (a 12-year contract covering ~7 million train km/year), and representing municipalities nationwide on SPNV procurement procedures for more than 20 years.

The business is structured as a partner-owned partnership with approximately 14 named partners/salary partners (many holding doctoral degrees and Fachanwalt specialist certifications) plus commercial management, operating from a single Bremen office with 38 total employees. The firm is independently owned with no parent company, no institutional investors, and no subsidiaries, and has remained a single-jurisdiction German operation despite claiming national and international advisory reach.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Gleiss Lutz: Leading German full-service firm with public sector, regulatory, and energy practices. Comparable to BBG in the regulatory and infrastructure advisory space but operates at significantly greater scale and breadth.
• Hengeler Mueller: Top-tier German full-service law firm with strong public procurement, regulatory, and infrastructure capabilities. Larger and broader than BBG, but competes for the same high-end public-sector mandates at the upper end of the market.
• CMS Germany: One of the largest full-service law firms in Germany with a strong public procurement, energy, and infrastructure practice across multiple offices. Overlaps with BBG on public procurement and energy mandates but operates as a full-service incumbent with broader corporate offerings rather than as a pure-play infrastructure boutique.
• Freshfields Germany: Global elite law firm with German offices and a strong public procurement/regulatory practice. Competes with BBG on the largest infrastructure mandates and state-aid matters but as a global incumbent rather than a German specialty boutique.
• Heuking Kühn Lüer Wojtek: German full-service firm with recognized public procurement and public sector practice. Competes with BBG on tender and concession mandates for public clients, but as a larger multi-office generalist rather than a specialized infrastructure firm.
• Luther Rechtsanwaltsgesellschaft: Large German full-service law firm with a recognized public sector and infrastructure practice. Overlaps with BBG on public procurement and concession work but serves a broader range of corporate mandates across its German and European offices.

Direct peers

• Becker Büttner Held (BBH): German specialty law firm headquartered in Munich with offices in Berlin and other cities, focused on energy, infrastructure, and public-sector mandates. BBH's energy, networks, and public procurement practices are the closest direct overlap to BBG und Partner's combined mobility/energy/public procurement profile in the German mid-market specialty segment.
• Kapellmann Rechtsanwälte: German boutique law firm specialized in construction, real estate, and infrastructure project law with multiple offices. Like BBG, Kapellmann serves public and private infrastructure clients with project lifecycle advice (planning, procurement, contracts, disputes) and is a comparable specialty infrastructure competitor.
• Möhrle Happ Luther: Hamburg-based German specialty firm combining legal, tax, and audit advisory with a notable public sector and infrastructure practice. Comparable mid-market alternative to BBG for clients seeking integrated advisory across infrastructure mandates in northern Germany.
• Redeker Sellner Dahs: Bonn-based German law firm focused on public law, planning, and environmental law with strong infrastructure practice. Directly comparable to BBG's environment, planning, and administrative law practice, serving similar public authority clients on approvals and large-scale infrastructure projects.
