Noerr strengthens its Regulatory and Governmental Affairs practice with Carsten Bringmann

Noerr is reinforcing its leading position in regulatory law. As of 1 January 2022, Carsten Bringmann (31) will be moving from Hogan Lovells to Noerr’s Dusseldorf office as an associated partner.

Carsten Bringmann regularly advises companies and the public sector in interdisciplinary teams and projects on major areas of public commercial law such as constitutional law, EU State aid and subsidy law, environmental law and public construction law. The legal directory Legal 500 has named him a “rising star” in commercial administrative law. Carsten’s networking connections are particularly strong in the German federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia; one example is his work as part of the team that advised NRW.BANK on privatising the Westspiel Group.

“We are very pleased to have been able to bring Carsten on board as an associated partner in our Düsseldorf office,” said Holger Schmitz (Berlin/Dusseldorf), head of Noerr’s Regulatory & Governmental Affairs practice. “He has excellent expertise in many sectors that are important for us, such as providing support and advice on real estate transactions or the planning and implementing stages of renewable energies projects. Carsten is joining us in our ongoing efforts to further develop our regulatory practice at one of Germany’s most important business locations.”

Carsten studied law at Heinrich Heine University in Dusseldorf. He is a visiting lecturer for European and international business law at the University of Wuppertal. Another lawyer with whom Carsten has successfully collaborated for several years will also join Noerr as a senior associate.

According to the German legal directory JUVE, Noerr “regularly advises on complex projects involving constitutional and public law as well as their interface with EU law.” JUVE reports that the firm can consistently be seen at the side of German federal ministries that it advises on matters including the phase-out contract with operators of coal-fired power plants as well as the public sector’s future regulatory strategies. JUVE also notes that Noerr provides clients in various sectors with strategic advice related to legislative processes and represents them before administrative and constitutional courts, recent examples being Moia in the traffic sector and numerous clients on developing renewable energies.
