Administrative law
Public procurement, planning, permits and the environment: businesses and individuals in their dealings with public authorities, from the administrative procedure to the Regional Administrative Court and the Council of State.
What we do
We assist businesses and individuals at every stage of their dealings with public authorities: administrative procedures and access to records, permits, licences and concessions, planning and building, expropriation, administrative penalties. For businesses, public tenders and procurement, from taking part to challenging an award. Part of the practice covers environmental law and sustainability: environmental permits and assessments, compliance, ESG programmes.
When dialogue with the authority is not enough, litigation: appeals to the Regional Administrative Court (TAR) and the Council of State, extraordinary appeals to the President of the Republic, compliance and damages proceedings.
Who it is for
For the company bidding in a tender, waiting for a permit or seeing its business halted by an administrative decision. For anyone facing a refused building permit, an expropriation, a penalty, or an authority that does not respond. For bodies and companies that work with the public sector every day.
How we work
Many matters are settled before reaching a court, by taking part in the procedure properly: submissions, applications and requests for access filed at the right moment. When action is needed, time is short: as a rule sixty days to challenge a decision, thirty in procurement. That is why the first review is quick and tells you straight away whether to act, and how.
