What Redeker Sellner Dahs does

Redeker Sellner Dahs is a German law firm organized as a Partnerschaftsgesellschaft mbB, headquartered in Bonn with additional offices in Berlin, Brussels, Leipzig, London and Munich. Founded in 1929, the firm employs approximately 175 lawyers alongside roughly 130 support staff (around 305 total), operating across 25 practice areas and 15 industry sectors. Core strengths lie in public commercial law, antitrust, EU/regulatory matters, construction law, employment law, and corporate advisory, with a notable track record representing public-sector and federally connected clients.

The firm monetizes services through traditional legal-advisory engagement models: fee-based mandates covering litigation, transactional support, regulatory counseling, and ongoing compliance work for enterprises, government bodies, and regulated-industry clients. Service lines include specialized advisory on digitisation, data protection, and AI regulation, indicating responsiveness to emerging compliance demand. Notable mandates include advising on the Malteser/Diako Hospital acquisition (2026-03-09) and successfully representing Autobahn GmbH in a significant public-law matter (2026-06-24).

The business is relationship-driven rather than technology-driven; there is no disclosed proprietary technology platform, software product, or AI-native service offering. The firm instead invests in brand and thought leadership through the Konrad-Redeker-Stiftung (active since 2003) and the newly established Konrad Redeker Prize with an independent advisory board. External recognition via Chambers, Legal 500, JUVE and Handelsblatt rankings supports client acquisition. As a private partnership, the firm does not publish revenue or partner-distribution data, limiting visibility into financial performance and capital structure.
