Focus
Thomas Schabel’s focus lies on public procurement law, an area of law in which Schabel has been advising throughout all economic branches since it was introduced by the European Commission in 1998. Most intensely, Schabel advised on the awarding of construction and planning contracts, hospital care products and waste disposal. Approximately one third of his clients were bidders, the remaining two thirds contracting authorities. At AssmannPeiffer, Schabel focuses on the numerous connections public procurement law shares with energy law, such as the awarding of grid concessions, energy procurement for contracting authorities and calls for tenders pursuant to the German Renewable Energies Act (Erneuerbare-Energien-Gesetz, EEG).
