About

Provided by CMS

For any public law issues or issues falling within other legal areas, such as tax implications, our highly technical team can offer multi-disciplinary support, oriented towards the implementation of appropriate solutions.

Our specialists can assist clients in all areas of public business law and public property law. We can help them respond to calls for tenders from public and private buyers and we can assist public sector organisations with their outsourcing policies, their implementation and their financing. We can also advise public authorities and their associated entities on the reorganisation of their intervention methods.

We can assist them with knowing and understanding industry regulations applicable to them and their negotiations with regulators. We can help make their building projects possible in a climate where urban and environmental rules and land control (in the private and public sector) are becoming increasingly complex. We can also help them optimise costs: our work concerns the set-up of such operations, such as drafting and negotiating any related contract documents. Finally, with confirmed litigation experience in all public law disciplines, we can represent them, whether they are a claimant or a defendant, in all types of litigation before administrative, judicial, financial and European courts.
