Practical advice in public procurement, state aid and EU Funding

We advise contracting authorities and tenderers on public procurement, state aid and EU funding matters where transparency, timing and documentation are critical. Our work covers the preparation and review of procurement documents and tenders, assessment of procurement decisions, EU funding requirements, state aid compliance and related disputes. We focus on clear requirements, consistent procedures and practical assessment of legal risks, commercial implications and available options.

Clear requirements, consistent process and defensible decisions

Public procurement requires careful attention to transparency, equal treatment, timing and documentation. Unclear requirements, inconsistent communication or insufficiently reasoned decisions may restrict competition, delay the procedure or create grounds for challenge.

Our focus is on clear requirements, consistent procedures and practical assessment of both legal risks and available options.
