Jakob B Krupski

KKP LEGAL Partnerschaft mbB is a German commercial law firm advising clients on business law, construction law and public procurement law, with a strong focus on the energy and infrastructure sectors. Under managing partner Jakob B Krupski, the firm has been named the Corporate INTL Global Awards 2026 “Energy & Infrastructure Law Firm of the Year in Germany”.

A commercial firm built around infrastructure

KKP LEGAL describes itself as a Kanzlei für Wirtschaftsrecht, Baurecht und Vergaberecht – a law firm for commercial law, construction law and public procurement law. Those three disciplines sit at the heart of how major infrastructure and energy projects are delivered in Germany, and the firm has organised its practice around the needs of clients who plan, build, finance and operate them. Its recognised sectors include building and infrastructure (Bauen & Infrastruktur), energy, railway and public passenger transport, trade and distribution, and public procurement.

Energy and infrastructure law in Germany is inseparable from construction and procurement. Large projects – whether in power generation and networks, transport, or public works – typically involve competitive tender processes governed by public procurement rules, complex construction contracts, and a web of regulatory and planning requirements. By combining these competences in one practice, KKP LEGAL is positioned to support clients from the tendering and contracting stage through to the resolution of disputes that can arise during delivery.

Advice and dispute resolution

The firm frames its offering around legal advice and dispute resolution delivered through three complementary methods: strategic consultation, litigation, and arbitration. This structure reflects the reality of infrastructure work, where the same client may need forward-looking, preventative advice at the outset of a project and robust representation if matters later become contentious. Being able to move between strategic counsel, the courts and arbitral proceedings allows KKP LEGAL to tailor its approach to the commercial priorities of each engagement rather than defaulting to a single route.

KKP LEGAL sets out a clear set of values for its work: quality, knowledge, expertise, teamwork and independence. For clients operating in regulated, capital-intensive sectors, independence and technical depth are particularly important, since energy and infrastructure disputes frequently pit private operators against public bodies or involve overlapping regulatory regimes.

Jakob B Krupski, managing partner

Jakob B Krupski is managing partner of KKP LEGAL and an attorney admitted in both Germany (DE) and Poland (PL). His dual qualification is a natural fit for a firm active in cross-border infrastructure, energy and trade matters, where projects and supply chains routinely span the German–Polish border and the wider European market. The firm advises in German, English and Polish, supporting international clients and counterparties.

Energy and infrastructure in the German market

Germany's energy transition and its continued investment in transport and public infrastructure have made the energy and infrastructure sectors among the most active and legally demanding in the country. Projects must navigate procurement law, construction contracting, sector-specific regulation and, increasingly, sustainability and grid-related requirements. Firms that can integrate procurement, construction and commercial expertise – and that can act decisively when disputes arise – are well placed to serve developers, contractors, operators and public authorities alike. KKP LEGAL's concentration on building and infrastructure, energy, and railway and public passenger transport reflects exactly this demand.

Continuity and cross-border capability

A recurring theme in KKP LEGAL's positioning is continuity: the firm stresses that its professionals and consultants bring far-reaching expertise together with the consistency needed to deliver economically justified solutions within predictable timeframes. In energy and infrastructure work, where projects can run for years and pass through successive phases of tendering, contracting, construction and operation, that continuity of advice is a genuine advantage for clients who need their legal team to hold institutional knowledge across the life of a project. Combined with the firm's German and Polish qualification and its command of German, English and Polish, it makes KKP LEGAL a natural choice for cross-border energy and infrastructure matters in the German and central European market, where regulatory regimes, procurement rules and construction standards must all be reconciled.

The Corporate INTL Global Awards 2026 “Energy & Infrastructure Law Firm of the Year in Germany” recognises KKP LEGAL Partnerschaft mbB and managing partner Jakob B Krupski for the firm's focused expertise across construction, procurement and energy law, and for its combined advisory, litigation and arbitration offering serving clients in one of Germany's most important sectors.
