Baker McKenzie is considered one of the leading addresses for nationally relevant procurements in the pharmaceutical, technology and defense sectors. Its policy-related consulting offering is aimed at both public clients and global companies, which primarily call upon the team in large-scale projects financed by subsidies. The practice advises on the tendering of numerous contracts in connection with the expansion of European pharmaceutical production and the semiconductor industry; clients mainly turn to practice head Marc Gabriel, who is also an expert in procurement compliance and further assists with procurement aspects of restructuring projects. Alongside his strategic advice, he also handles high-volume review and compensation proceedings. Susanne Mertens (procurement in the IT sector) left the firm in August 2022 and is now self-employed.
