With a team of lawyers experienced in both the private and public sectors, in addition to the integrated performance of professionals specializing in projects and litigation, clients seek our firm to obtain a complete view of all the challenges and legal risks faced in the business activity with the Public Administration - especially in cases of greater complexity - whether those are in the structuring of investment projects, the representation in administrative, judicial and arbitration proceedings arising from State regulatory and contractual activity, or participation in public tenders and in their relationship during the execution of administrative contracts.

Determined to deliver excellent work to clients, our Public Law lawyers advise on the structuring of concession projects, public-private partnerships (PPPs), and privatizations. We also help companies assess the risks and opportunities of investing in infrastructure, as well as contributing to the design of the legal-regulatory strategy for the long-term exploitation of the asset. In concession projects, PPPs, and in the purchase and sale operations of public service concessionaires, we develop regulatory strategies for the operation of the asset, mapping opportunities, and developing risk mitigation mechanisms.

Our practice also extends to strategic litigation, such as administrative, judicial, and arbitration proceedings that discuss the economic and financial balance of contracts. We also have a team focusing on regulation, with solid performance in due diligence in the scope of purchase and sale operations of companies operating in regulated sectors such as health, telecommunications, and the food industry, as well as the infrastructure sector.

We are prepared to serve clients in numerous ways, drawing from our experience in logistics and transportation, energy, public lighting, basic sanitation, waste management and public facilities, and public sector work:

• Application and bidding processes, disclosures, concession contracts, PPP contracts, RFQ and RFP question and answer periods, MBE/WBE requirements, use of subcontractors, and bid protests;
• Litigation involving the public administration, including claims regarding the economic and financial rebalancing of public contracts, sanctions imposed by public entities, class actions, administrative misconduct, and issues related to Courts of Auditors;
• Expression of Interest Procedures (PMI), advising on the initial design phase of a project, and creating solutions that meet the company's needs and serve the public interest, up to the public procurement and contract execution phases;
• Consulting for the development of privatizations, concessions and PPPs;
• Public tenders, including the preparation and review of documents, the analysis of the public notice and its relevant provisions to assess risks, the identification of potential problems with procedure, and, whenever necessary, representation in litigation matters;
• Assistance to contracted parties during the execution of their projects, advising on issues related to their development and the execution of administrative contracts, such as economic rebalancing, contractual amendments, development of new projects associated with the concession, or PPP and administrative processes.
