As a successful and dedicated lawyer, Prof. Dr. Langenbach was a member of Heuking’s public procurement team.

We hope the university appreciates its good fortune!”
“As a lawyer at Heuking, she has successfully advised federal ministries and higher federal authorities for many years and is very well acquainted with the structures.
