Extension course on procurement law for legal experts and in-house lawyers (3-day course) (in Dutch)

The importance of procurement law continues to grow. Legislation is subject to continuous change. In addition, parties are confronted with a constant stream of national and European case law which plays its part in determining the contours of procurement law. We offer this course as a legal introduction to procurement law for professionals who have to deal with procurement law in practice. We will outline the theoretical framework, while at the same time providing points of reference for a practical application of this area of law. The main aspects of procurement law will be studied in depth, based on the literature sent to participants beforehand, case law and a homework assignment.

Legal experts and in-house lawyers working for tenderers and lawyers working for contracting authorities.
