Administrative & Public Law covers legal assessment, document preparation and implementation support in Europe. It is typically relevant to businesses, investors and organisations operating or transacting in one or more countries.

When a public authority refuses a permit, imposes a sanction, or exercises regulatory discretion in a way that affects your business, the response must be precise and timely. We represent businesses and individuals in administrative proceedings - challenging unlawful acts, securing licences, and defending against regulatory enforcement - before public authorities and administrative courts.
Administrative law governs the procedural rights of parties facing state action: the right to be heard, access to the administrative file, and the obligation of the authority to state reasons. We ensure these rights are exercised effectively.
Where decisions are unlawful or disproportionate, we pursue annulment through judicial review, seeking interim relief where the contested measure causes irreparable harm, and negotiate with regulators when a constructive outcome is achievable.
