Public Sector Private Law

Public authorities not only use government regulations, but increasingly also private law instruments, meaning more interaction with private companies and parties. This growth in private law use is partially due to expanding legislation, which allows authorities more opportunities to fulfil their delegated duties. Private law in relation to the public sector is a specialised area of law and managing the interaction of private law and public law requires knowledge of both civil procedural and administrative law. Our experts will assist you in your dealings with the public and private sector including dispute resolution.
