Practice

We combine our expertise and experience in all areas of public law with a local approach through our 16 offices on the Iberian Peninsula

Our practice area, with over 50 lawyers, includes highly regarded lawyers with in-depth knowledge of public authorities’ procedures and work methods, having worked for different public bodies or as counsel for the state.

We advise on the relations between public and private entities, and inter-administrative relations from an administrative law viewpoint, advising both Iberian and foreign public and private entities.

We advise public (central and local) entities in relation to public services, and the organization and operation of public entities, including state-owned and municipal companies. In the context of pre-contract procedures, we advise on drafting the corresponding tender contract documentation and, during the pre-contract stage, we advise on the awarding, the performance of the contract, and the launching and monitoring of public-private partnerships. We also advise on the preparation of land-use planning.

We advise private entities on drafting statements of claim and applications to the public entities of the central and local administration, and assisting with the ensuing administrative procedures. We draft tenders in pre-contractual procedures, assisting clients with the tenders in the various stages of those procedures, particularly during the negotiations. We advise on land-use planning, and on preparing and implementing development, tourism and industrial projects.

We advise on administrative and legal actions involving regulated sectors, such as energy, TMT, utilities and life sciences, and we represent clients in constitutional disputes and judicial reviews, as well as in public procurement matters, both at administrative and procedural levels.

Services

  • Administrative law: We offer legal services in areas ranging from planning, and obtaining licenses and authorizations, to expropriation cases and providing defense in all types of administrative and contentious-administrative proceedings in court. We have sectorial experts and lawyers in all our regional offices that cover the different sets of laws in Spain, thanks to the legislation-drafting process of the autonomous regions.
  • Constitutional law: We advise on rights, freedoms and guarantees, and we review the constitutionality of legal and regulatory provisions applied in specific cases.
  • Public procurement: We advise on awarding procedures leading to the conclusion of works and public works concession contracts, public service contracts and other public-private partnerships, concessions to exploit public domain, contracts for the supply of goods and the provision of services, contracts for the lease of real property or movable assets and other administrative contracts, and the negotiation and performance of administrative contracts.
  • Town planning and environment: We provide legal advice on creating planning methods, urban management and town planning, and urban rezoning of land, as well as ongoing counseling on obtaining licenses, authorizations and administrative concessions for all types of activities. We also advise on town planning agreements; contaminated soil in urban developments; and legal, urban and environmental due diligence on land for development. We advise companies on mandatory relocation due to urban projects, and the compulsory purchase of lands, buildings and industrial facilities.
  • Regulated sectors: We advise on public law issues affecting regulated sectors such as energy, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, transport and TMT. Our public law lawyers are members of multidisciplinary teams that, together with the firm’s experts in other areas, offer comprehensive legal advice to clients in these sectors considered key for business activity.
  • Tax Law: We provide legal advice on direct taxation, optimizing applicable tax allowances and incentives, and on restructuring matters, to obtain an optimal taxation of corporate income tax. We also advise on indirect taxation, optimizing VAT, and considering the specific conditions that affect the public sector—non-taxable transactions, exemptions, the pro-rata rule, subsidies and taxable base, and applicable tax rates—on a national and international level. Our Tax Practice prepares and reviews both compensation packages for public entity personnel and valuation agreements with the tax authorities concerning payment in kind.
