Administrative Law

In recent years, a clear shift has taken place. Principles such as proportionality carry more weight, and transparency requirements are increasing, for example under the Government Information (Public Access) Act (Wob).

This has a direct impact. Decisions must be more thoroughly reasoned, procedures are scrutinised more closely and there is less room to correct mistakes. For organisations, this means being sharp from the outset. What does not hold up now will be challenged later.

Legally sound, practically in control

We help you stay in control in a constantly changing environment. Our Administrative Law team understands the rules, tracks developments and translates them into your day-to-day practice.

We think ahead, identify risks and help you make decisions that stand the test of time. Whether it concerns advice, objections or litigation, our work is legally robust and practical. Where needed, we collaborate with our specialists in procurement, state aid, competition, real estate and corporate law. So you remain in control, even when things become complex.
