Advice for domestic and international clients from both the public and the private sectors
Our administrative law, property, construction and environment practice lawyers advise domestic and international clients from both the public and the private sectors.
Our areas of expertise include matters relating to
General administrative law
Recent years have seen an increase in European and national rules regulating the organisation, powers, duties, and functions of public authorities of all kinds engaged in administration. Mainly inspired by EU legislation, administrative law has developed into a specific field of law in Luxembourg that is to a large extent complemented by constitutional law. Our administrative law, property, construction and environment team regularly advises and represents the Luxembourg state, municipalities, association of municipalities and other public bodies, as well as private sector companies dealing with administrative and constitutional law issues.
Public procurement law
Our team has significant experience in advising clients on public procurement procedures in both non-contentious and contentious matters. In this specialist area, we work both for the national government and municipal authorities as well as other public bodies, and advise private sector clients in their dealings with the public sector. Our practice area is thus regularly involved in public procurement procedures, which are increasingly complex and prone to judicial review.
Public-private-partnerships
Our law firm has wide-ranging expertise in public-private partnership projects, having produced various publications on this area, and we actively follow ongoing developments.
Regulatory law and administrative sanctions
Our team has expertise in advising public entities as well as private clients in their dealings with the public sector in matters of regulatory law covering various business areas that are highly regulated, including investment funds, banking, insurance, energy and telecommunications. Our team works closely with experts in other practice areas such as banking, insurance and investment funds to help our clients comply with regulatory requirements and avoid sanctions.
Environmental law
Our administrative law, property, construction and environment team has substantial experience dealing with public and administrative law matters relating to the environment. We advise municipalities, local government groupings and other public bodies on environmental law issues, and assist private sector clients in their dealings with the public sector.
Urban planning
