Administrative & Environmental Law

The lawyer and administrative law

Businesses and citizens are affected by government decision-making both willingly and unwillingly, for example in the context of a permit procedure or in the event of enforcement action. Our lawyers specialise in cooperating with public authorities in completing projects and investments, making policy and obtaining permits. They also have extensive experience with procedures where public authorities are possible opponents. For example, our lawyers advise and litigate on zoning and land-use plans, government enforcement and the sanctions imposed in that regard, the revocation or refusal of permits and the forced closure of businesses.
