DOMBERT Rechtsanwälte Part mbB

What DOMBERT Rechtsanwälte Part mbB does

DOMBERT Rechtsanwälte Part mbB is a German boutique law firm founded in 2002, headquartered in Potsdam, Brandenburg, with a second office in Düsseldorf. The firm specializes exclusively in public law (Öffentliches Recht), advising on legal matters involving the state, municipalities, and administrative authorities. With 37 attorneys organized as a Partnerschaftsgesellschaft mbB with eight named partners, DOMBERT serves federal and state government agencies, municipalities, hospitals, universities, and professional chambers across twelve core competence areas: constitutional and administrative law, information rights and press law, data protection/digitalisation/AI, public contracts and procurement, public service, planning/construction/infrastructure, energy/environment/climate, healthcare, daycare and schools, science, profession and business, and monument protection. The firm is authorized to represent clients before administrative courts up to the Federal Constitutional Court.

The firm's revenue model is professional services billing — court mandates follow the German Legal Fees Act (RVG), while out-of-court mandates are time-based. Its go-to-market relies on professional reputation, academic ties (multiple partners hold university professorships), and referrals rather than active sales. Beyond core advisory, DOMBERT operates a structured talent pipeline (DOMBERT Praxis internship, DOMBERT Repetitorium exam-prep) and an educational subsidiary, Dombert Akademie GmbH, which delivers continuing-education seminars on public procurement, construction planning, and municipal administration. Professional liability coverage is maintained with Allianz Versicherungs-AG, and the firm is registered with Amtsgericht Potsdam under PR 119.

Recent strategic activity has emphasized diversification into adjacent practice areas: a dedicated Data Protection, Digitalisation and AI advisory offering for public-authority AI compliance (GDPR, DPIAs, European AI Act), the addition of Prof. Dr. Klaus Günther-Dieng as Of Counsel in 2023, two attorney hires in 2025 extending into private construction/architectural law, and seven iurratio employer awards in 2025. The firm's technology footprint consists of standard legal-sector web tooling (WP Statistics, Borlabs Cookie, guestoo event management, Vimeo/YouTube, reCAPTCHA) rather than proprietary AI or legal-tech products.
