Delivery is via interdisciplinary teams of fully qualified lawyers, business lawyers, public administration economists, engineers, business administrators, economists, and IT specialists.

KUBUS generates revenue through professional-services engagements quoted on a project basis to municipal clients.

The firm has 9 employees and operates across Germany, with no disclosed funding rounds, no acquisitions, and no public revenue figures.
