We help municipalities, municipal enterprises, corporations under public law, and foundations answer all questions relating to European state aid. We advise them on how to draft applications in a manner that is in line with state aid law and attend negotiations and contentious proceedings. We work together with auditors and tax accountants on an interdisciplinary base.
We are also familiar with the subsidy laws in budgetary legislation. We help to obtain and comply with funding decisions and assist with demands for repayment;
A wealth of practical experience with a variety of subsidy programmes
In particular our practical experience with the privatisation of state-funded companies, research and development cooperation projects and transactions involving building plots, is immense. The administrative proceedings involved in obtaining subsidies from the structural funds (ESF, ERDF) are as familiar to us as the various subsidy programmes managed by the German Federal Office of Economics and Export Control (BAFA) and KfW (German state-owned investment and development bank).
