Many sectors and markets are subject to government regulation. Companies operating in fields such as healthcare, therapeutic products/medical technology or energy must comply with numerous requirements and standards imposed by the authorities. Many activities in these sectors require permits or authorisations. Our public law specialists have significant experience and in-depth knowledge in this area. We will support and represent you or your company in procedures to obtain permits or concessions, and we can also offer you forward-looking assistance so that you can implement and comply with official requirements.

We advise private companies and public-sector enterprises on all aspects of constitutional and administrative law, in fields such as data protection, health legislation, public law of persons or commercial administrative law, and in connection with subsidies. We also assist public authorities and municipalities with complex legal issues, permit application procedures and extensive legislative processes.

Sometimes, government bodies are obliged by law to hold an open tender for procuring goods or services. Our team is ready to advise or assist public procurers as well as tenderers on the procurement process in general or on specific cases at all three levels of government: municipal, cantonal and federal.

Not just companies, but private individuals, too, come into contact with administrative or government bodies in various ways, and they may receive administrative orders or rulings. Public authorities and administrative bodies usually reach their decisions in the form of administrative orders: these are issued, for example, in connection with planning applications, applications for professional licenses, appointing counsel or applying for subsidies. We will support you with all proceedings before administrative authorities, help you to exercise your right to be heard, and advise you on your legal options and rights of appeal in case the ruling does not go in your favour. If necessary, we will also represent you and your interests before administrative courts and other appellate courts.
