Administrative law and environmental and planning law cover topics as varied as disputes about altered zoning plans, environmental and planning decisions and administrative fines. These matters often involve high stakes, both for public-law organisations and for market operators.
Scope
Administrative law and environmental and planning law impact the physical environment and determine environmental standards and enforcement policies. They govern the legal relationships between public-sector authorities and private-sector organisations, but also between separate government authorities.
Administrative law affects every person and every entity on a regular basis. Wherever a public-law body is involved, the matter falls under administrative law and our team of experts provide advice and representation. Our firm also provides the expertise in private law and European law that is often needed as well.
Environmental and planning law also deals with the actions of government authorities, but specifically where they affect the world around us: the environment and spatial planning.
Government agencies and market operators
We advise on both sides in various processes, including:
- government disclosure
- permitting
- zoning plans
- enforcement and enforcement supervision
- subsidies
- supervision and regulation
- fines and other sanctions
Our team of legal experts also help with contracts involving public-law, whether between separate government agencies (such as mutual arrangements and partnerships) or contracts between government agencies and market operators, for example contracts for services or derogations from a zoning plan.
Teams of experts
Our first step is to familiarise ourselves with your organisation. We combine that understanding with practicality and swift action to provide the quality and expertise that you need.
Issues of administrative law and environmental and planning law often also involve other areas of the law: competition law, for example, and property law and sanctions law. Where this arises, our experts coordinate with our construction law and public procurement law teams.
