The actions and commitments of the administration can be a source of prejudice and give rise to a right to compensation: failure to maintain a public structure or damage to public works, illegal refusal of authorization, etc.

We can help you develop an effective strategy (summary proceedings, appeals for compensation or annulment of a decision, etc.), and represent you before the administrative courts.

Frequently Asked
Questions

How do you support public-sector players?

We assist local authorities, public establishments and other public and semi-public entities (SEMs, SPLs, mixed syndicates, etc.) in the implementation of their prerogatives in the fields of town planning, public procurement, civil service and public property, as well as in matters of administrative police and administrative liability.
Our assignments are varied: drafting and proofreading of proposed acts or decisions, audits, advice and representation before administrative courts, assistance in organizing public purchasing procedures, conducting administrative investigations... Our support is operational and responsive, and takes account of our customers' constraints.

How do you support SMEs and ETIs in their dealings with the authorities?

Private operators are regularly confronted with administrative issues in the course of their business: authorizations to be obtained for real estate, environmental or industrial projects, public subsidies and grants, procedures for awarding public contracts...
We support SMEs and ETIs in resolving the difficulties they encounter in this way, and thus facilitate the implementation of their projects without their being dependent on lengthy administrative procedures.

Do you also support Private Clients ?

Yes, our clientele is made up of Private Clients facing difficulties in obtaining or implementing their town planning authorizations (prior declaration, building or development permit, interruption of work, etc.), or who wish to contest an authorization issued to a neighboring third party. We also act for those wishing to hold the administration liable for damage caused by public works, or for the illegality of a decision that has caused them harm.
Finally, we regularly assist civil servants at all stages of their careers. Our approach is clear and transparent: before taking any action, we first assess the associated chances of success and draw up the strategy to be implemented.

In which regions do you operate ?

We assist our clients throughout France, across Europe, and around the world.
Our lawyers have the tools and resources to provide advisory services both on-site and remotely.
They regularly appear before all French administrative courts.

How are your fees determined?

When you decide to entrust us with a project, we systematically draw up a clear and precise fee proposal based on time spent, or on a fixed-price basis when the project permits.
For any additional assignment, we will first update the initial proposal. This guarantees total transparency on the financial terms of our intervention. z
