BCLP advises Agaplesion Frankfurter Diakonie Kliniken on Next-Gen Radiotherapy Unit Project

International law firm BCLP advised Agaplesion Frankfurter Diakonie Kliniken gGmbH on its pioneering radiotherapy project.

The project involved the expansion and modernization of the radiotherapy unit at Markus Hospital in Frankfurt am Main, including the acquisition of three linear accelerators, one of which is powered by AI.

“This project is a powerful example of how of advanced technology, strategic allocation of public funding, and focused investment – especially amid uncertain times for the hospital sector— can significantly elevate healthcare  provision in Hesse. We are proud to have supported healthcare provider Agaplesion, a with such a significant endeavor and to have contributed to the safeguarding and enhancement of healthcare services delivered by private institutions,” said Counsel Dr. Jonas Asgodom, who led the project alongside Associate John Patrick Jahn.

“The deployment of a state-of-the-art compact linear accelerator enables online adaptive radiotherapy (oART) for the first time — which adjusts treatment in real time to the individual needs of patients. This reduces side effects and improves outcomes—a major advancement in cancer care and a milestone in the collaboration between BCLP and Agaplesion.”

BCLP advised Agaplesion on matters related to public funding and procurement law. In addition to supporting the acquisition of funding, BCLP assisted with the tendering process, contract drafting, and complex negotiations with medical device manufacturers, planning firms, and construction companies.

“This project underscores the breadth of our firm’s capabilities and demonstrates the added value we’re focused on bringing to areas of critical social importance, such as healthcare,” commented Carsten Bremer, Office Managing Partner of BCLP in Germany. “At a time when challenges in the healthcare system are widely discussed, we are excited to be part of an initiative that facilitates access to cutting-edge medical care.”
