Public Law

Public Law to unlock projects and protect strategic decisions.

We handle Public Law matters involving regulation, competition and government contracting, with a focus on infrastructure-intensive sectors, regulated services and ongoing interaction with the State. In this practice, we combine a sophisticated reading of the regulatory environment with a practical business perspective, so that companies can move forward with confidence on high-impact projects.

what we do

• Structuring regulatory and contractual models for infrastructure projects, concessions, PPPs and PMIs (Expressions of Interest procedures).
• Advising on public tenders and contracts, from strategy design through execution and eventual economic-financial rebalancing.
• Handling competition and sector regulation matters before regulatory agencies and oversight bodies.
• Negotiating and renegotiating contracts with government, including in crisis scenarios or regulatory change.

typical problems we solve

• Projects stalled by regulatory or contractual uncertainty with the State.
• The need to adapt contracts to new legal, economic or technological frameworks.
• Disputes with oversight bodies, regulatory agencies or audit courts over the performance of public contracts.

how we work

We take ownership of the client’s problem, bringing together law, economics and politics to build solutions that are viable and sustainable over time. This includes designing new regulatory arrangements when the existing environment does not meet the project’s needs.
