Field of Expertise Public and Administrative Law
The government sets the rules.
We govern the rest.
Business is regulated in numerous ways: provisions of environmental law and administrative regulations on trade, which are increasingly dominated by European law, contain detailed guidelines for business and entrepreneurial activities. Consequently, the success of a business depends on finding efficient solutions for complying with governmental regulations.
Main focus of advisory
Businesses and associations rely on our expertise in the evaluation of complex questions of public and administrative law as well as in connection with their relationships with authorities, representation before the courts or regarding the identification and resolution of conflicts. At the same time, we can draw on the experience of our colleagues from other practice groups when dealing with interdisciplinary issues. We advise businesses in all areas of public and administrative law.
Supporting M&A-transactions
A further focus of our practice is supporting M&A-transactions in public law aspects. Aside from analysing governmental acts during due diligence exercises, M&A-transactions oftentimes include important questions of public and administrative law, e.g. concerning emission control. Furthermore, administrative and public legal problems, especially on a European level, may arise in connection with capital markets and corporate law which we address closely working with our M&A-colleagues.
