Oppenländer Rechtsanwälte's commercial administrative practice impresses with a diverse client base, which includes not only companies and industry associations but also political parties, state governments and ministries, as well as with a broad thematic coverage. Christofer Lenz primarily devotes himself to constitutional issues and jointly heads the practice with Torsten Gerhard, whose expertise is particularly evident in the context of gambling law, in matters relating to the tobacco and slot machine industry and in Corona aid. Jens Ritter, who made partner in November 2023, predominantly advises on administrative law matters in the energy industry, while Henrike Schulte (also constitutional law) and Corina Jürschik-Grau are well versed in public regulatory matters in the transport sector; together with associate Maximilian Stützel, who focuses on funding and constitutional law, they also regularly handle state aid and grant issues.
