Public tenders, concessions and public-private partnerships require review of qualification requirements, award criteria and performance obligations. Advice covers bids, tender challenges and appeals, as well as the negotiation and management of public contracts. Amendments, sanctions and claims to restore the contract’s economic and financial balance are assessed against the agreement and the documented facts.
Cooperation agreements, public funding agreements and other arrangements with public authorities are examined under their respective legal frameworks and purposes. Work addresses statutory powers, work plans, obligations, monitoring and accountability, including partnerships with civil society organizations where applicable.
Environmental work covers licensing, permit conditions, compliance and liability reviews for businesses, property and projects. Legal analysis draws on technical studies to address contractual responsibilities, inspections, defenses and commitments concerning compliance or remediation.
Regulatory matters and administrative proceedings include formal inquiries, authorizations, inspections, sanctions and appeals before the competent authorities. Digital government projects also involve technology procurement, accessibility and data protection. Administrative remedies and court proceedings are assessed in light of operational effects and the available record.
