Schramm Öhler Rechtsanwälte

Since 1996 our law firm has been active in the field of public procurement law. Our eight partners Johannes Schramm, Matthias Öhler, Georg Zellhofer, Gregor Stickler, Andreas Gföhler, Hannes Pesendorfer, Christian Gruber and Michael Weiner as well as more than 45 further colleagues (Attorneys, Associates, paralegal, legal interns) constitute the largest procurement law practice in the Austrian market. We influence the development of our specialist area through numerous publications and by being involved in much of the important litigation in our field.

In our day-to-day business we implement procurement projects, represent our clients when their decisions in procurement projects are challenged in the courts or by auditors and support them in making important decisions and delicate situations. We advise the federal government, the federal provinces, the municipalities, the European Commission and numerous public corporations as well as middle-sized and big international companies on public procurement issues and related legal areas.

Since our firm was founded in 1996, we conducted hundreds of procurement projects, litigated challenges to procurement decisions in the courts and provided expert opinions on matters of procurement law, all of which allows us to master our tasks in a very efficient way. In close cooperation with our clients, as well as experts from other specialist areas, we develop new and innovative models in the fields of public private partnerships, life-cycle models, framework agreements or outsourcing. In effect, we bridge the gap between legal doctrine and practical solutions. And this is what we are proud of – not our own success, but the success of our clients.

In order to be even more strongly positioned in the market, we expanded our firm by four partners in January 2020.

We have offices in Vienna, Eisenstadt – Burgenland, Feldkirch – Vorarlberg, Linz - Upper Austria and St. Pölten – Lower Austria.
