Peter Braun – Dentons

Das vergaberechtliche Beratungsangebot von Dentons wird vorwiegend von globalen Akteuren der Sektoren Healthcare, IT, Transport und Verteidigung in Anspruch genommen, wenngleich man auch Akteure der öffentlichen Hand als Auftraggeber betreut, und schließt Themen des deutschen und europäischen Vergaberechts ein. Hierzu zählen Vergabe- und Nachprüfungsverfahren, insbesondere betreffend großvolumige IT- und Infrastrukturprojekte wie den Ausbau des Glasfasernetzes, die vergaberechtliche Compliance und Vergabesperren. Letzterem widmet sich unter anderem Peter Braun, der in der Beratung zu Vergabeverboten internationaler Finanzinstitutionen versiert ist. Braun leitet die Praxis gemeinsam mit Wolfram Krohn, der oftmals von öffentlichen Auftraggebern und Bieterunternehmen aus den Bereichen Transport, IT und Gesundheit mandatiert wird. Unterstützt werden sie unter anderem von dem in Vergabe- und Nachprüfungsverfahren erfahrenen Christian Miercke.
