Christian Miercke – Dentons

Dentons‘ broad range of advice is aimed at large companies in the IT, defense and healthcare sectors as well as the public sector and comprehensively covers both project-related procurement matters as well as litigation. In addition to innovative projects for network expansion, the promotion of quantum technology and digitalisation, the team also advises on procurement compliance in connection with M&A transactions; Peter Braun, who also represents clients in procurement blocking proceedings, is a sought-after contact here; he jointly heads the practice with Wolfram Krohn, who regularly represents various companies in EU-wide procurement and review proceedings. Christian Miercke made partner in May 2023 and advises on state aid-related procurement issues. Former co-practice head Andreas Haak (procurement law, infrastructure projects) and Lars Hettich (procurement law, public commercial law) joined Pinsent Masons Rechtsanwälte Steuerberater Solicitors Partnerschaft mbB in October 2023.

Germany > Industry focus > Telecoms

Dentons‘ team offers a cross-practice approach and advises at the interfaces with M&A as well as regulatory, administrative and contract law; this is also mirrored in the team members’ individual focus areas: Volker Junghanns is a regulation and contract law expert and Christian Miercke, who joined the partner roster in April 2023, frequently acts at the interfaces with state aid and procurement law. This expertise is regularly called upon in connection with commercial contract drafting, product launches, cooperation agreements, telecommunications consumer protection regulations and transactions in the fibre optic and broadband segments. The practice is also experienced in proceedings before the Federal Network Agency.
