We can assist in public tender procedures across multiple countries simultaneously, as well as represent you before authorities, tribunals, and courts in Europe, Latin America, Africa, and Asia.
We support complex projects in both the public sector and utilities such as electricity, gas, and airports. Additionally, we offer strong representation in procurement-related disputes and litigation. By understanding procurement from both the contracting authority and bidder perspectives, we can help you anticipate issues, manage risks, and secure better outcomes, offering commercially focused, practical advice throughout the process.
