About KKP LEGAL Partnerschaft mbB

KKP LEGAL describes itself as a Kanzlei für Wirtschaftsrecht, Baurecht und Vergaberecht — a firm dedicated to commercial law, construction law and public-procurement law — and places particular emphasis on cross-border expertise. Operating as a Partnerschaft mbB (a partnership with limited professional liability, a structure widely used by German professional firms), it advises clients from its office at Friedrichstraße 95 in 10117 Berlin, in the heart of the German capital. The firm publishes its materials in German, English and Polish, reflecting the international orientation of its practice and its focus on cross-border mandates.

The firm organises its work around several core areas of competence, including:

• Trade & Distribution (Handel & Vertrieb)
• Railway & Public Passenger Transport (Eisenbahn & Öffentlicher Personenverkehr)
• Public Procurement (Vergabe)
• Construction & Infrastructure (Bauen & Infrastruktur)
• Energy (Energiewirtschaft)
• Alternative Dispute Resolution & specialist fields

KKP LEGAL delivers its services through three complementary methods stated on its website: strategic advisory work, litigation, and arbitration. The firm frames its identity around a set of stated values — quality, knowledge, expertise, teamwork and independence — and assembles focused working groups drawn from its professionals and cooperation partners so that each mandate is handled with the right depth of technical specialisation and continuity.

Banking & Finance in the German market

Recognition as Banking & Finance Expert of the Year in Germany situates Jakob B Krupski within one of the most heavily regulated and economically significant areas of German legal practice. Germany sits at the centre of the European financial system: Frankfurt hosts the European Central Bank, and German banking is supervised by BaFin (the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority) and, for significant institutions, by the ECB under the Single Supervisory Mechanism. Practitioners in this field routinely work at the intersection of national law, EU regulation and international market standards.

Banking and finance work in Germany typically spans lending and syndicated facilities, security and collateral arrangements, debt capital markets, regulatory and compliance advice, restructuring and refinancing, and the financing of large infrastructure, energy and construction projects. That transactional breadth connects naturally with KKP LEGAL’s recognised strengths in construction, infrastructure, energy and public procurement, where the structuring and financing of projects, the allocation of risk, and the negotiation of complex contracts are central concerns. Advisers in this space must combine a command of financial documentation with an understanding of the commercial and regulatory environment in which their clients operate.

A cross-border, advisory-led approach

The hallmark of effective banking and finance counsel is the ability to translate intricate regulatory requirements into workable commercial outcomes — anticipating issues before they arise, structuring transactions to withstand scrutiny, and resolving disputes efficiently when they occur. KKP LEGAL’s stated emphasis on strategic advice, litigation and arbitration reflects exactly this full-service posture, allowing clients to be supported from the planning of a transaction through to the enforcement of their rights.

For international clients doing business in or with Germany, the firm’s multilingual, cross-border orientation is a practical advantage, bridging the German legal framework and the expectations of counterparties and financiers abroad. It is against this backdrop that Jakob B Krupski’s Corporate INTL Global Awards 2026 recognition as Banking & Finance Expert of the Year in Germany should be read: an endorsement of high-quality, independent and internationally minded advice in a field where precision, regulatory fluency and commercial judgement matter above all. Clients and peers seeking banking and finance expertise in Germany will find in KKP LEGAL a firm whose values of quality, expertise and independence are well aligned with the demands of the sector.
