Public Procurement and Administrative Law
Our public & administrative law team advises clients from
both private and public sector on a wide range of administrative
and constitutional law issues regarding any kind of public-private
transactions or projects, i.e.:
- complex PPP structures (DBFM/O, joint affiliates, concessions
of works or services, etc),
- public procurement contracts,
- real estate transactions (sale, lease, long term lease,
building rights, etc),
- financial transactions (loans, derivatives, securitization)
with or involving public authorities or entities,
- privatisation or reorganisation of public law companies.
Our public law lawyers team up with our banking, real estate,
corporate and tax lawyers, which guarantees an integrated
approach for all issues relating to such public-private projects
and transactions. As we work for both public and private sectors,
we have a perfect understanding of both public constraints and
financial and commercial concerns. This allows us to come to well
balanced solutions, in particular in terms of risks allocation.
Our team also has a regulatory practice in pharma,
communications, energy and transport and works in close cooperation
with our other practices such as Competition
& EU Regulatory, Transport and
Intellectual Property on those matters. This enables us to provide
a tailor made and complete ‘public, administrative and regulatory
advice’.
Its integration within the public & administrative London
group allows our Belgian public & administrative law
team to import creative solutions adopted in the UK into the
Belgian market. In particular, our Belgian public procurement team
benefits from the unique experience of the London team in terms of
framework agreement and competitive dialogue.
