We deal with a wide spectrum of matters at the intersection of public and private sectors. We offer in-depth knowledge and an understanding of legal and business contexts in which public bodies and state-owned companies operate. We cover regulatory aspects and compliance policies for clients who wish to invest or participate in the development of public-sector projects, and have extensive experience in advising and representing both private businesses and public authorities on the application of Romanian public procurement laws and of EU public procurement regulations and principles. We are actively involved in leading positions in working groups supporting the government in shaping the new legal framework for public-private partnerships.

Our public-sector-related work includes legal advice in the leasing and concession of publicly-owned assets, assignments of local public services, on public procurement procedures, and on municipality budgeting and financing, municipality notes, and insolvency of municipality services. We have also served a number of public bodies in administrative litigation involving public assets and financial and investment claims.
Our lawyers have represented municipalities in projects concerning the reorganization and modernization of urban management services (e.g. ecological waste deposit, sanitation services, sewage systems, lighting, transportation), and have also provided legal expertise to public institutions, mainly relating to concessions and the leasing of publicly-owned assets and public services (e.g. land, hospitals, clinics, sport & leisure). Our concession advice covers a broad scope and a wide variety of public assets, services and works, in particular road infrastructure and municipal concessions. We also advise in connection with natural-resource concessions.
