DAGEFÖRDE Öffentliches Wirtschaftsrecht Rechtsanwaltsgesellschaft mbH

What DAGEFÖRDE Öffentliches Wirtschaftsrecht Rechtsanwaltsgesellschaft mbH does

DAGEFÖRDE Öffentliches Wirtschaftsrecht Rechtsanwaltsgesellschaft mbH is a specialized German law firm headquartered in Hannover, Niedersachsen, focused exclusively on public economic law (Öffentliches Wirtschaftsrecht). The firm's practice is organized around three competence areas: advisory for public authorities (Öffentliche Hand) covering the design and conduct of procurement procedures and representation before procurement chambers and higher regional courts; construction and award law (Bau und Vergabe) including the drafting, review, and negotiation of contracts in architect and works-contract law and the lawful use of public funding; and environmental law (Umwelt), with emphasis on waste-management issues and the legally compliant design of procurement procedures in waste collection, material flows, and circular-economy concepts.

The firm is led by Prof. Dr. Angela Dageförde as founder and managing partner, supported by four additional lawyers (Maurice Reichstein, Jörg Rüdiger, Jonas Kröger, Dr. Johanna Werpers), research assistants, and administrative/event-management staff, totaling 11 team members. The underlying "technology" is professional legal expertise rather than a software platform: services are delivered through direct advisory engagements, representation in review proceedings, expert opinions and legal guidelines, mediations, and a structured seminar and training program (open seminars, webinars, in-house trainings, and the recurring "Recht am Morgen" breakfast seminar).

Commercially, the firm operates a sales-led, direct-engagement model with two primary client segments — public authorities requiring legally compliant procurement procedures and private companies seeking to bid on or dispute public contracts. Revenue is generated through professional legal fees on a fee-arrangement basis; pricing is not publicly disclosed. Marketing is content-driven via an active blog covering German and EU procurement reform, supplemented by recurring professional-education events co-organized with Akademie Dr. Obladen since 2018 and training delivered for vhw. The firm positions itself for interdisciplinary large-scale projects on a national and international basis through a specialized network, though its actual footprint is single-office in Hannover.
