Public Lawyers

Public sector plays a fundamental role in a global economy in which the regulatory framework is increasingly complex and in which companies operate in jurisdictions with different legal systems.

Changes in the organisation of companies, the necessary stimulus to the economy as well as the evolution of digitalisation are driving a number of additional public investments and increased procurement efforts in the coming years in many countries.

Whatever your opportunities or challenges may be, our team is specially designed to understand your business needs and advises companies on how to comply with public law.

We can help you shape your strategy, manage risks and make the most of business opportunities in these areas:

  • General Administrative Law
  • Public Procurement
  • Administrative Contracts (Public Works under Contract and Concessions of Works and Services)
  • Public-Private Partnerships (PPP)
  • Regulated Sectors
  • Expropriations and Easements
  • Urbanism
  • Environment
  • Litigation and Arbitration

We have an in-depth knowledge of how public law applies in practice across different markets and with cross-disciplinary teams, we work to provide advice close to our clients’ needs.
